韓国・大邱など危険レベル上げ　新型肺炎、「渡航中止勧告」に

　外務省は１日、新型コロナウイルスによる肺炎患者が拡大する韓国の大邱市と慶尚北道清道郡について、感染症危険情報をレベル３の「渡航中止勧告」に引き上げた。人口１万人当たりの感染者数の多さなどが理由。レベル３は、中国でウイルス感染が最も深刻な湖北省や浙江省温州市と同じ水準だ。
　韓国のその他の地域に関しては、注意喚起を促すレベル１を維持した。
　外務省はイタリアのロンバルディア州など北部３州の感染症危険情報も、レベル２の「不要不急の渡航自粛」に引き上げた。（2020/03/01-23:04）

Japan's Foreign Ministry on Sunday raised its travel alert related to the COVID-19 new coronavirus to Level 3 for the southern South Korea city of Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province in the eastern part of the country.
   The number of people infected with the virus per population of 10,000 is high in the city and the province, according to the ministry.
   Level 3, which advises people to cancel trips, has already been in place for the inland China province of Hubei, the epicenter of the virus, and the city of Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, eastern China, where a COVID-19 outbreak is also serious. Level 3 is the second highest on the ministry's four-tier travel warning system.
   For other parts of south Korea the ministry kept its alert at Level 1, which calls for enough caution.
   On Sunday, the ministry also raised the COVID-19 alert to Level 2, which calls for avoiding trips that are not urgent, for three north Italian regions--Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna--due to spreading outbreaks of the virus there.
