対策未実施なら休業要請　首都圏の接待伴う飲食店―西村再生相

　西村康稔経済再生担当相は１４日の記者会見で、東京都と神奈川、埼玉、千葉３県で検討している再度の休業要請に関し、新型コロナウイルスの感染防止ガイドラインを守らないホストクラブ、キャバクラなど接待を伴う飲食店があれば発出を検討する考えを示した。
　西村氏は「ガイドラインを順守しない店には（新型コロナ対策の特別措置法に基づく）休業要請で対応すべき段階に来ている。専門家や１都３県の知事とも協議している」と説明。改めて事業者にガイドライン順守を求め、客にも感染対策を実施しない店は利用しないよう呼び掛けた。
　全国的に感染状況が深刻化した場合については、「幅広く休業要請があるかもしれないし、さらに拡大すれば緊急事態宣言も考えながらやっていかないといけない」と述べた。（2020/07/14-12:49）

The Japanese government is considering requesting shutdowns of nightlife establishments in the Tokyo metropolitan area offering hospitality services without COVID-19 protective measures in place, economic revitalization minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said Tuesday.
   "We're at a stage where we should respond with shutdown requests to businesses not abiding by coronavirus prevention guidelines," Nishimura said at a press conference.
   The central government has been discussing the matter with experts and the governors of Tokyo and neighboring Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba prefectures, said Nishimura, who is in charge of the government's response to the pandemic.
   The minister again called on businesses to comply with the guidelines and asked people to stay away from places without protective measures in place.
   If the situation becomes serious across the country, "shutdown requests may be issued for a wider range of businesses, and we may have to consider declaring a state of emergency again if things get even worse," Nishimura said.
