往来自粛、対処方針に　宣言対象と解除の地域―政府

　新型コロナウイルスの緊急事態宣言をめぐり、全国知事会の飯泉嘉門会長（徳島県知事）は１３日午前、西村康稔経済再生担当相とテレビ会議方式で意見交換した。知事会は、宣言が一部で解除された場合でも、都道府県境をまたいだ移動の自粛継続を国民に呼び掛けるよう提言。これに対し、西村氏は宣言の対象となる地域と解除された地域の往来自粛を政府の基本的対処方針に明記する考えを示した。

　西村氏は、宣言の解除について「新規感染者数が落ち着いている状況が続いていることが確認できれば、多くの県で視野に入ってくる」との見通しを示した。その上で、「油断するとまた感染が拡大する恐れがある」と指摘した。（2020/05/13-12:25）

The Japanese government will request citizens not to travel between areas where its coronavirus state of emergency is in place and others, once the measure is partially lifted, economic and fiscal policy minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said Wednesday.
   The request will be included in the government's basic COVID-19 response policy, Nishimura said in a videoconference with Kamon Iizumi, Tokushima governor and president of the National Governors' Association.
   Nishimura made the comments after the association proposed that the government ask citizens not to travel across prefectural borders even after the state of emergency is partially lifted.
   "The state of emergency may be lifted for many prefectures if there are no spikes in new coronavirus cases," Nishimura said. But he said that new waves of infections could occur if people lower their guards.
   Jiji Press reported Tuesday that the government is considering lifting the state of emergency in some of the 13 prefectures placed on special coronavirus alert, in addition to the rest of the country. A decision will be made on Thursday.
