事態収束まで登山自粛要請　山岳４団体、大型連休前に―新型コロナ

　大型連休を前に新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大を防ぐため、日本山岳・スポーツクライミング協会や日本勤労者山岳連盟など関係４団体は２２日までに、登山自粛を求める共同声明を発表した。
　声明では、現状での登山は「出先の方々への感染を広め、山岳スポーツ愛好者自身が感染するリスクを高める」と指摘。「山岳スポーツを愛する皆さまの他者への思いやり、そして何よりご自身の感染防御に専心され、事態の収束を見るまで山岳スポーツ行為を厳に自粛していただきたい」とした。（2020/04/22-09:19）

Four Japanese associations related to mountain activities are asking mountain sports lovers not to climb for now amid the new coronavirus outbreak.
   The four, including the Japan Mountaineering and Sport Climbing Association and Japan Workers' Alpine Federation, released a joint statement this week ahead of the country's Golden Week holiday period from late April to early May.
   The statement says that continuing mountain sports activities "would spread the virus to people in areas mountaineers are visiting and raise the risk of mountain sports lovers themselves catching the virus."
   "We ask you mountain sports lovers to care about others, protect yourself from infection and strictly refrain from mountain sports activities until the situation settles down," the statement says.
