韓国・大邱など「渡航自粛」に　新型コロナ拡大で政府

　茂木敏充外相は２５日の記者会見で、新型コロナウイルスの感染者が急増している韓国南部の大邱市と慶尚北道清道郡について、「不要不急の渡航自粛」を求める感染症危険情報を発出すると発表した。４段階あるうちの下から２番目。
　茂木氏は発出の理由として、韓国政府が警戒レベルを４段階の最高レベルとしたことなどを挙げ、「状況を総合的に勘案した」と説明した。大邱には感染者の多くが関係している新興宗教団体「新天地イエス教会」の施設がある。（2020/02/25-11:34）

The Foreign Ministry called on Japanese nationals on Tuesday to "refrain from making nonessential trips" to the South Korean city of Daegu where coronavirus infection cases are on the rise.
   The same travel advisory, the second-lowest level in the ministry's four-tier warning system, was also issued for the county of Cheongdo in the South Korean province of North Gyeongsang.
   The move reflects the South Korean government's recent decision to put the country's infectious disease alert to the fourth and highest level, according to Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi.
   "We issued the travel advisory after considering all the circumstances," Motegi said.
   Daegu is home to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, a religious group to which many of South Korean coronavirus cases are said to have links.
