東京、朝の混雑戻らず　緊急事態解除一夜明け

　新型コロナウイルス流行に伴う緊急事態宣言の解除から一夜明けた２６日朝、東京都内の主要駅では通勤客が行き交う姿が見られた。ただ、混雑で知られるＪＲ中央線の車内は比較的すいており、様変わりした風景がなおも続いていた。
　東京・多摩地区にあるＪＲ国分寺駅では午前７時ごろ、マスク姿の通勤者らが次々と改札内に入った。上り線ホームでは、５、６人ずつ電車を待つ人が列を作った。

　「きのうあたりからホームが人でいっぱいになるようになった」と話すのは、ホームのそば店従業員の女性（７０）。ただ、通常なら朝食を取る人で混むという７時１５分すぎの店内に、客は３人。「急に再開できない業種の人もいるでしょう。来週くらいから戻ればいいな」と期待する。（2020/05/26-11:51）

The daily lives of Japanese people have not got back to normal although the government has fully lifted its state of emergency over the new coronavirus, with vigilance kept in place due to the possibility of a second wave of infections hitting the country.
   Trains on East Japan Railway Co.'s Chuo Line, known for being very crowded with commuters and others, had relatively few passengers on the morning of Tuesday, a day after the state of emergency was lifted in Tokyo.
   "We are seeing people coming back from around yesterday," said a 70-year-old female worker at a soba Japanese noodle restaurant on a platform of Kokubunji Station on the Chuo Line in Tokyo.
   But the restaurant had only three customers at one point during the commuting hours, when it is usually crowded with people having breakfast.
   "People in some industries can't probably start commuting again soon (after the lifting of the emergency)," she said. "I hope customers will return from around next week."
