　東京都は１５日、新型コロナウイルスの感染状況に関する専門家の分析結果を公表し、４段階で表す警戒レベルを最も深刻な水準から１段階引き下げた。上から２番目のレベルになるのは７月上旬以来で、新規陽性者の減少を踏まえ「感染は拡大傾向にない」と判断。医療提供体制の警戒レベルも１段階引き下げ、７月中旬以来約２カ月ぶりに上から２番目とした。（2022/09/15-17:06）

Tokyo's metropolitan government on Thursday lowered its alert for the novel coronavirus infection situation in the Japanese capital by one notch to the second-highest level on its four-tier scale.
   The lowering was based on an analysis by experts. It is the first time since early July for the COVID-19 alert to be at the second-highest level in Tokyo.
   Given the decreasing number of new cases, the metropolitan government believes that infections are not on the rise.
   The Tokyo government also lowered its alert for medical preparedness by one notch to the second-highest level, the first time for the warning to stand at the level since mid-July.
   As of Wednesday, the seven-day average of new infections in the capital stood 8,770.1. The number of hospitalized coronavirus patients was at 2,661, about 60 pct of the peak level in the seventh wave of infections.
