上皇后さま、宮内庁病院に　経過観察で５カ月ぶり外出

　上皇后さまは１１日、昨年受けた手術の経過観察のため、お住まいの仙洞仮御所（東京都港区）から皇居内の宮内庁病院に入り、診察を受けられた。上皇后さまの外出は約５カ月ぶり。
　上皇后さまは午前１０時すぎ、皇居内の生物学研究所に向かう上皇さまと一緒に、車で皇居・乾門を通過。ご夫妻はマスク姿で報道陣に会釈した。約５時間滞在し、皇居を後にした。
　上皇后さまは昨年６月に両目の白内障、同９月に乳がんの手術を受けた。今後も週１回程度のペースで数回検査を受けるという。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大などの影響で、検査の時期がずれ込んでいた。（2020/09/11-15:41）

Japanese Empress Emerita Michiko visited the Imperial Household Hospital on Friday to receive a follow-up check after the surgeries she underwent last year.
   The 85-year-old Empress Emerita left her residence in Tokyo's Minato Ward in a car with Emperor Emeritus Akihito, 86, and the car carrying the couple entered the Imperial Palace in neighboring Chiyoda Ward, where the hospital is located, shortly past 10 a.m. (1 a.m. GMT).
   At the Inui gate of the palace, the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita, both wearing face masks, bowed to reporters who were waiting for their arrival. The Emperor Emeritus visited the biological laboratory located on the grounds of the palace.
   The hospital visit marked the first time in about five months for the Empress Emerita to go out.
   Empress Emerita Michiko underwent cataract surgery on both eyes in June 2019 and breast cancer surgery in September the same year. The follow-up check had been postponed amid the spread of the novel coronavirus.
