１９日の休業解除変わらず　「夜の街」再開へ指針徹底―政府・東京都

　東京都内で新型コロナウイルス新規感染者が４７人確認されたことに関し、西村康稔経済再生担当相は１４日の記者会見で、新たな集団検査の結果であることを踏まえ「二次感染を防止する取り組みが進んでいると前向きに考えたい」と冷静に受け止める姿勢を示した。その上で、接待を伴う飲食店などへの休業要請を１９日に解除する政府方針を「直ちに変更する考えはない」と表明した。
　都内の新規感染者数について、安倍晋三首相も１４日のインターネット番組で「クラスター（感染者集団）と思われるところで集中的にＰＣＲ検査をやった結果だ」と述べ、過剰な反応を戒めた。
　西村氏は会見に先立ち、内閣府で小池百合子都知事と会談。夜の繁華街で感染が相次いでいることを受け、接待を伴う飲食店やライブハウスなどの営業再開に向けたガイドライン（指針）を徹底することで一致した。ホストクラブなどの従業員の検査・相談体制を整備することも確認した。（2020/06/14-20:14）

Japanese economic revitalization minister Yasutoshi Nishimura suggested Sunday the government's policy of lifting its business suspension request for nightlife establishments on Friday as planned, calmly responding to a spike in new cases of novel coronavirus infection in Tokyo.
   In the Japanese capital, 47 people were newly found positive for the virus on Sunday, up sharply from 24 on Saturday and the most since May 5, when 57 people tested positive for the virus.
   Noting that the surge came as a result of the start of group examinations for virus infection in the Kabukicho night entertainment district in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward, Nishimura told a press conference, "I want to think positively that progress is being made in the efforts to prevent secondary infections."
   The government "has no immediate plan" to change the policy of removing the business closure request on Friday for facilities including eating and drinking establishments with hospitality services, he said.
   Earlier on Sunday, Nishimura held a meeting with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike. They agreed to ensure the thorough implementation of the government's guidelines on the prevention of coronavirus infections at facilities offering hospitality services, live music venues and nightclubs, following a series of infections confirmed at nightlife venues. The guidelines, released on Saturday, were compiled in the run-up to the reopening of such facilities, now suspended amid the epidemic.
