[ti:Tokyo's Nightclub Workers Make Videos to Fight Coronavirus] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:01.08]Tokyo's government has reported an increasing spread of COVID-19 [00:08.72]since May in neighborhoods where the sex industry is active. [00:15.84]Now, officials have released some coronavirus education videos starring, [00:23.68]and targeting, workers of the so-called "red light" areas. [00:30.92]In the videos, the young men and women question a doctor. [00:37.64]"What kind of symptoms can a young COVID-19 patient expect," [00:43.92]asks one performer." [00:46.84]How often should we sanitize our hands," says another. [00:53.96]The videos are seven to eight minutes long. [00:57.72]Some of the questions are simple [01:00.32]and can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no." [01:06.00]Other questions seek more detailed answers, [01:09.88]such as steps to take to avoid coronavirus, [01:14.64]or an explanation of treatments and costs of COVID-19. [01:22.88]The doctor in the videos gives advice [01:26.32]to operators of red-light stores and social gathering places. [01:32.32]He suggests they check each customer's temperature [01:37.44]before permitting them to enter any public establishment. [01:43.24]He also says seats should be separated by a safe distance. [01:49.12]And, he advises people against drinking out of the same container, [01:55.28]a traditional activity in some businesses. [02:01.40]Tokyo has seen new COVID-19 infections of more than 200 a day [02:08.40]in four of the last six days. [02:12.56]That is extremely small compared to outbreaks in cities in several other countries. [02:19.36]But, the spread in Tokyo is breaking city records. [02:24.04]The majority of new infections are among people in their 20s and 30s [02:30.08]with few or no signs of the disease, [02:34.08]making it hard for public health workers to investigate the spread. [02:41.28]The Tokyo government has targeted red-light areas [02:45.48]for aggressive coronavirus testing programs. [02:50.80]It also is urging businesses to observe [02:54.72]public health safety guidelines connected to COVID-19. [03:02.52]Japanese Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura has warned that nightclubs [03:09.64]could be closed if they do not follow the rules. [03:14.12]I'm Susan Shand. 更多听力请访问51VOA.COM
