池江璃花子、日大水泳部コロナ感染で自宅待機／競泳
白血病からの復帰を目指す競泳女子の池江璃花子（２０）＝ルネサンス、日大２年＝が、所属する日大水泳部の部員１人の新型コロナウイルス感染を受け自宅で待機していることが４日、分かった。
日大はこの日、水泳部男子部員１人が発熱し、今月１日に新型コロナウイルスに感染したことを発表した。
保健所の指導により濃厚接触者５人は現在隔離中。
プールや学生寮の消毒を行い、濃厚接触者の結果が判明するまで関係者の外出禁止、水泳部の活動を自粛していることを明かした。
池江は普段、男子部員とは一緒に練習しておらず、練習時間も男子選手とはずらしておこなってきた。
現在も白血病の治療途中で、定期的に通院。
感染症には人一倍、気を使わなければならず、直近では先週と今週月曜日に感染症にかかっていないかの検査を受け、問題ないことが分かっている。
関係者によれば、自宅待機とはいえ元気だという。
濃厚接触者５人の検査結果を待って、今後の練習方法を模索する見通しだ。
More Young People Are Dying Of Coronavirus In Florida, As State Shatters Death Record Tuesday

I'm a news reporter for Forbes, primarily covering the U.S. South.
TOPLINE
Florida set a new daily record for coronavirus deaths on Tuesday, as deaths continue to climb while more young people are losing their lives to the virus, an analysis released Tuesday found.
KEY FACTS
The state reported 276 coronavirus deaths Tuesday, breaking the old record of 257 set on July 31.
Younger people have started dying at higher rates recently than earlier in the pandemic, a New York Times analysis of state health data found.
More residents in the 25-44 age group died during the month of July than in the four previous months combined, according to the analysis, and there were more deaths in July from those under the age of 65 than those over 90.
Deaths are continuing to increase in Florida, even as other metrics, like hospitalizations and new cases, are trending downward, though the case decrease has been influenced by the closure of testing centers while Hurricane Isaias passed the state.
The state reported its lowest daily case increase in seven weeks on Monday.
KEY BACKGROUND
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has continually downplayed the virus’ impact in the state during press briefings, and has said the greatest impacts are largely restricted to the very old. That has been the case through most of the pandemic, but the impact on younger people is increasing, according to the analysis.
CRITICAL QUOTE
“I think Florida is still paying the price for policy decisions made a few months ago with respect to not closing businesses and beaches, or enforcing face masks and social distancing, Steffanie Strathdee, an infectious disease epidemiologist at UC San Diego and author of the medical memoir,
“The Perfect Predator,” told Forbes, adding, “Remember, it takes time to flatten the curve, and as former HHS director Donna Shalala said recently, we don’t just need to flatten the curve, we need to CRUSH it. It will take time to see the payoff in the health statistics.”
TANGENT
Florida’s death toll Tuesday was among the highest recorded since the initial U.S. coronavirus surge during the spring, which mainly affected the Northeast.
The state largely took over the role as the U.S. coronavirus epicenter in late spring and early summer.
On July 12, Florida set a national record when it reported over 15,000 new coronavirus cases in a single day.
