　東京都は１７日、新型コロナウイルスのモニタリング会議を開き、４段階で表す感染状況の警戒レベルを上から２番目へ１段階引き上げた。このレベルになるのは１０月６日以来。専門家は「第８波の入り口に差し掛かっているとも考えられる」と述べ、警戒を促した。

The Tokyo metropolitan government raised its COVID-19 alert to the second-highest level on its four-tier scale Thursday.
   At the day's coronavirus monitoring meeting of the metropolitan government, an expert warned that the Japanese capital "can be considered to be entering the eighth wave of infections."
   The COVID-19 alert was set at the second-highest level for the first time since Oct. 6.
   As of Wednesday, the seven-day average of new infections in Tokyo stood at 8,019.7, up by around 24 pct from a week before.
   If new infections increase at the current pace, the seven-day average would reach around 12,300 by the end of this month, according to an estimate presented at the monitoring meeting.
