緊急宣言、全国で延長を　コロナ対策諮問委メンバー

　政府の新型コロナウイルス対策の諮問委員会メンバーを務める日本医師会（日医）の釜萢敏常任理事は２８日、日医の記者会見で、５月６日に期限を迎える緊急事態宣言に関し、全国での延長が必要との認識を示した。一部の都道府県だけ宣言を解除することは「個人的には難しいと思っている」と述べた。
　政府は週内に専門家による会合を開き、感染状況について分析する予定。その後、緊急事態宣言を延長するかどうかの判断を下す方針。
　釜萢氏は会見で、緊急事態宣言の発令から３週間が経過したが、「当初狙っていたほどの感染者減少には至っていない」と指摘した。（2020/04/28-19:37）

The Japanese government should extend its coronavirus state of emergency beyond the current expiration on May 6 across the country, a leading medical expert said Tuesday.
   It would be difficult to lift the emergency in certain prefectures only, said Satoshi Kamayachi, an executive board member of the Japan Medical Association and an advisory committee member of the government's coronavirus response task force.
   There are concerns that a partial lifting will spur movements of people, possibly spreading infections, Kamayachi said at a press conference. Medical care systems are still in a dire situation, he added.
   The government is slated to hold a meeting with experts this week to analyze the current situation over the coronavirus outbreak before deciding whether to extend the emergency.
   The government initially declared the emergency for Tokyo and six other prefectures on April 7 before expanding it to the whole country nine days later.
