首都圏主要駅、人出横ばい　宣言再発令初日―民間調査

　新型コロナウイルスの感染拡大に伴って緊急事態宣言が出た首都圏の１都３県の主要駅や繁華街で、宣言発令前後の人出に大きな変化がないとみられることが、９日までに民間調査で分かった。
　スマートフォンなどの位置情報から滞在人口を推計するＮＴＴドコモの「モバイル空間統計」によると、宣言初日の８日と７日の午後３時時点の比較では、東京駅が２．６％減、さいたま市の大宮駅西口周辺が３．９％減だった。東京・銀座では変化がなかった。
　一方で、横浜駅は３．０％増、千葉駅は０．６％増だった。宣言は不要不急の外出自粛や時短営業を求めるなどして人の流れの抑制を目指すが、大きな成果は挙がっていない状況がうかがわれる。（2021/01/09-11:28）

A fresh state of emergency declared over the COVID-19 epidemic in the greater Tokyo area this week did not immediately cause a significant reduction in crowds, a private survey has suggested.
   In the survey, location data from NTT Docomo Inc. mobile phones were used to estimate the number of people around major train stations and in shopping districts as of 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday, or before and after the declaration.
   The estimated number of people around Tokyo Station on Friday was down 2.6 pct from Thursday, while that of people in the capital's Ginza shopping district was almost unchanged.
   The number of people around the west exit of Omiya Station in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, fell 3.9 pct, but that of people around Yokohama Station in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, and Chiba Station in Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo, increased 3.0 pct and 0.6 pct, respectively.
