８月に検証取りまとめ　国や自治体のコロナ対策―全国知事会

　全国知事会（会長・飯泉嘉門徳島県知事）は１２日、国や自治体の新型コロナウイルス対策を検証するワーキングチーム（ＷＴ）の初会合をテレビ会議で開いた。クラスター（感染者集団）の発生状況や各地の対応を分析した上で、今後の感染拡大防止策に生かす。８月中に報告書を取りまとめる。
　ＷＴのリーダーを務める平井伸治鳥取県知事は「大都市から小さな県まで、カテゴリー別のアプローチを考える必要があるのではないか。建設的な取りまとめが第２波に備える上で大切だ」とあいさつした。会合では、高齢者らが入所する社会福祉施設での感染防止策や、休業要請に関する法的な枠組みの在り方などを検討していくことで一致した。（2020/06/12-12:10）

A project team of Japan's National Governors Association is set to compile in August a report on the outcome of its review of the effects of countermeasures taken by the central and local governments against the novel coronavirus epidemic.
   The schedule was agreed at the team's first meeting, held over a videoconference system, on Friday.
   The team will analyze the occurrences of infection clusters and the responses taken by each prefecture. The association will seek to improve coronavirus prevention measures based on the team's findings.
   "There is a need to think of different approaches for different categories, from major cities to small prefectures," Shinji Hirai, governor of Tottori Prefecture, western Japan, and the head of the team, said at the videoconference. A constructive response is "important in preparing for a possible second wave of infections," he said.
   The team agreed to consider infection prevention measures for social welfare facilities for the elderly and a legal framework for requesting suspensions of businesses.
