足止め邦人、２８日以降に出国　地方滞在の６０人は移動困難―ペルー

　【サンパウロ時事】南米ペルーを観光などで訪れていた日本人約２６０人が、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大を受けた国際便の運航停止で現地に足止めされている問題で、在ペルー日本大使館は２６日、早ければ２８日以降に邦人らが民間のチャーター機で出国できるとの見通しを示した。
　ペルー政府は１５日に非常事態を宣言。移動は厳しく禁じられ、航空便や長距離バスも停止している。邦人はリマに約１２０人、世界遺産マチュピチュに近いクスコに約８０人、その他の地方に約６０人が分散。ホテルなどに滞在している。
　チャーター機はクスコからリマ経由でメキシコ市まで飛ぶ予定で、利用者はクスコ―リマ間は５万円、リマ―メキシコ市間は２５万円を自己負担する。地方に滞在している邦人約６０人は移動ができないため、搭乗は困難とみられ、大使館は引き続きペルー政府に働き掛けて支援策を講じるとしている。（2020/03/27-07:31）

Japanese nationals now stranded in Peru due to the fallout from the outbreak of the novel coronavirus will likely be able to leave the South American country aboard a chartered commercial flight on Saturday or later, officials at the Japanese embassy in Lima said Thursday.
   Following the Peruvian government's declaration of a state of emergency over the coronavirus pandemic on March 15, travel has been strictly restricted.
   International flights have been suspended as part of the restrictions, leaving some 260 Japanese nationals stuck in Peru, with 120 of them in Lima, the nation's capital, some 80 in Cusco, a city close to Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and some 60 in other areas of the country, the officials said. They are staying at hotels and other facilities.
   The chartered aircraft will fly from Cusco to Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, via Lima. Those using the flight will have to pay fees from their own pockets--50,000 yen for the Cusco-Lima part and 250,000 yen for travel from Lima to Mexico City, the officials said.
   Those who are in areas other than Lima and Cusco will unlikely be able to board the plane because they have no means to reach the two cities due to the travel restrictions, which have made long-distance bus services also unavailable.
