横浜で開く予定だったアジア最大のカメラ見本市中止　新型肺炎の感染拡大で

　一般社団法人カメラ映像機器工業会（東京）は１４日までに、横浜市内で開く予定だったアジア最大級のカメラ見本市「ＣＰ＋（シーピープラス）」の中止を決めた。新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大を受けた措置。国内で開かれる毎年恒例のイベントで、今年は今月２７日から４日間開催する予定だった。
　同工業会はホームページで中止を通知。理由について「有効な治療薬や対処法の先行きが見通せない中、来場者と出展関係者の健康や安全面を第一に考えた」と説明している。
　ＣＰ＋は、来場者が最新のカメラを手に取って体験できるのが特長。今年はキヤノンやオリンパスなど約１３０社・団体が出展し、約７万人の来場が見込まれていた。（2020/02/14-13:00）

The Tokyo-based organizer of the CP+, one of Asia's largest trade shows for cameras, has decided to cancel the event for this year due to the recent coronavirus outbreak.
   The Camera & Imaging Products Association announced on its website the cancellation of the annual trade fair, which was scheduled to be held in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, just south of Tokyo, for four days from Feb. 27.
   "Given there is no effective treatment or containment measures to deal with the novel coronavirus, we have chosen to cancel CP+ 2020 because we put top priority on the health and safety of visitors and exhibitors," the association said on its website.
   The CP+ is known for giving visitors opportunities to try out new camera models. Some 130 companies and organizations, including Canon Inc. and Olympus Corp. , were slated to exhibit their products at this year's event, which was expected to draw around 70,000 visitors.
   The move follows the cancellation of the World Mobile Congress, one of the world's largest trade fairs for mobile devices, which was slated to be held in Barcelona, Spain. More cancellations of similar events are expected amid the continued spread of the new coronavirus originating in China.
