 WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans normally hear from President Donald Trump when he is opining on Twitter, riffing from a rally stage or otherwise improvising. This past week was different as he sat in the Oval Office with a script laid out for him to read on a matter grave enough for a prime-time address to the nation.
 He addressed the coronavirus crisis that is spreading germs and fear. But his words were as factually fraught as many of his tweets.
 Most broadly, Trump hailed American exceptionalism in health care and science — “The virus will not have a chance against us" — even as the public health system failed in making diagnostic testing accessible to all who need it.
 It's been more than a week now since Trump assured the country: “Anybody, right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test, gets a test. They're there. They have the test. And the test is beautiful."
 He persisted with that thought as recently as Thursday, a day after his Oval Office address, when he asserted “the testing has been going very smooth.” This, as the government’s top infection expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was telling lawmakers: "It is a failing, let’s admit it.”
 Meanwhile, in their first one-on-one debate matchup Sunday, Democratic presidential rivals Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders made their own questionable statements on topics including the pandemic, Social Security and more.
 A review of the recent rhetoric and reality:
 EXCEPTIONALISM?
 TRUMP: “No nation is more prepared or more resilient than the United States.” — Oval Office address Wednesday.
 THE FACTS: American resilience will be measured over time. But the U.S. is not more prepared than all other countries. Seven weeks since the first U.S. case of coronavirus was announced, the government cannot account for what could be thousands of additional infections because of continuing stumbles on testing.
 Nearly a month after U.S. health officials promised to tap into a national network of labs that monitor for flu, that system is only just getting started. Large-scale testing is a critical part of tracking the spread of infectious diseases and allocating resources for treatment. The lack of comprehensive figures means U.S. health providers could quickly be overwhelmed by undetected cases.

 Fauci told a congressional hearing that other countries grappling with the virus have been making it easy for people to get tested, but in the U.S., “the system is not really geared to what we need right now.”
 For most people, COVID-19 causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from it.
 ___
 TRUMP: "If an American is coming back or anybody is coming back, we're testing. We have a tremendous testing setup where people coming in have to be tested. ... We’re not putting them on planes if it shows positive, but if they do come here, we’re quarantining. There’s going to be a pretty strong enforcement of quarantine." -- remarks Thursday.
 THE FACTS: That's not true. All people coming to the U.S. are not subject to mandatory, universal testing, nor are they being forced to quarantine.
 As well, his proclamation detailing the broad travel restrictions that took effect midnight Friday night on visitors from most of Europe does not specify that everyone allowed in will have to be tested. Trump was probably referring to plans that are expected to be put in place soon to channel those arriving from many European countries to certain U.S. airports, where they will receive screening and be subjected to quarantine instructions, just like visitors from China.
 ___
 TRUMP: “Taking early intense action, we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the virus in the United States than are now present in Europe. " — Oval Office address.
 THE FACTS: “Seen" so far may be true. But that does not mean Europe is being hit harder by infections than the United States. Because of test shortages in the U.S., many Americans with COVID-19 aren't being diagnosed and counted.
 ___
 TRUMP: "The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from China and other hot spots. As a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from Europe.” — Oval Office address.
 THE FACTS: That's a distorted account of travel restrictions in Europe.
 By the time U.S. travel restrictions were announced on Jan. 31, many major European airlines had already cut service to China. While restrictions in some European countries were not as widespread, others were much broader.
 The Czech Republic had stopped issuing visas to Chinese citizens. Germany issued a travel advisory urging citizens to postpone nonessential travel to China. Italy had declared a state of emergency for six months. Russia had shut down its land border with China, as well as almost all train traffic and most flights there.
 Trump on Jan. 31 signed an order that would temporarily bar entry to the U.S. of foreign nationals, other than immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who have traveled in China within the last 14 days. The ban took effect Feb. 2.
 A recent study from the journal Science found China’s internal crackdown modestly delayed the spread of the virus but it cast doubt that travel restrictions elsewhere will do much compared with other preventive measures.
 Despite Trump's boast of “early intense action,” his former homeland security adviser, Tom Bossert, said restrictions on entry into the U.S. from Europe came too late. “We have nearly as much disease here in the US as the countries in Europe,” he tweeted.
 ___
 WHAT'S COVERED
 TRUMP: “Earlier this week, I met with the leaders of (the) health insurance industry, who have agreed to waive all co-payments for coronavirus treatments, extend insurance coverage to these treatments, and to prevent surprise medical billing.” — Oval Office address.
 THE FACTS: No, they did not say they will cover copays for treatment.
 As Vice President Mike Pence stated more accurately, the insurers agreed to cover coronavirus testing with no cost sharing — so no copays or deductibles. That assurance applies to tests that can confirm or rule out the virus, and doesn't extend to treatment or to other tests that the patient's doctor may order. Consumers should check with their insurance company because policies may vary on this. They should not count on the president's word.
 What's more, in the process of diagnosing COVID-19, other tests may be ordered. Insurers have not pledged to waive cost-sharing for those. Copays and deductibles may apply for imaging tests such as X-rays or CT scans of the chest, for example, and hospital stays are also subject to cost-sharing.
 Federal programs including Medicare, Medicaid, children’s health insurance and “Obamacare” all cover the coronavirus tests. Of particular importance, clinical diagnostic tests are covered under Medicare with no cost-sharing, a longstanding policy. But cost-sharing may apply for other tests, such as imaging.
 When people get sick from the coronavirus, there currently is no antiviral treatment that can cure the disease. Instead, the current treatment is geared to relieving patients' symptoms and helping them to recover. For those who are very sick, that can involve using machinery to help them breathe. Insurers cover such treatment based on the terms of the individual's health plan, including any applicable deductibles and copays.
 ___
 TESTS & TREATMENT
 TRUMP: “We are cutting massive amounts of red tape to make antiviral therapies available in record time. These treatments will significantly reduce the impact and reach of the virus.” — Oval Office address.
 THE FACTS: People with COVID-19 or those who get it in the outbreak should not expect those therapies to be available to them. Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health told a congressional committee Wednesday that while antivirals are being tested, “we don’t know if it works. I don’t want to promise anything.”
 An antiviral is a medicine that specifically attacks a virus to hasten recovery. An experimental drug named remdesivir, which was being developed to fight Ebola, is being tested in COVID-19 patients in the U.S. and abroad. There also are studies underway using combinations of some HIV-attacking drugs.
 ___
 TRUMP: “For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further..... Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now." — tweets Friday.
 THE FACTS: His newfound disdain for the CDC’s actions and his criticisms of the Obama administration are based on a faulty description of what happened in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, initially called “swine flu.”
 Then, the CDC’s flu surveillance network actually sounded the alarm, spotting two children in California who were the first diagnosed cases of the new flu strain. About two weeks later, the U.S. declared a public health emergency and the CDC began releasing anti-flu drugs from the national stockpile to help hospitals get ready. Trump declared a state of emergency Friday, nearly two months after the first COVID-19 case in the U.S. was announced.
 As for thousands dying, it actually turned out that the new H1N1 strain was less deadly than average seasonal flu. But even that comparison is problematic because regular flu years are deadliest for the elderly while H1N1 was riskiest for younger people.
 ___
 TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
 TRUMP: “We will be suspending all travel from Europe, except the United Kingdom, for the next 30 days.” — Oval Office address.
 THE FACTS: He inaccurately described his own plan.
 First, the restriction does not apply to legal permanent residents of the U.S. or their families when they are returning from Europe. It also does not apply to U.S. citizens coming back from Europe, as Trump acknowledged.
 As well, it apparently does not apply to Ireland, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine and several other European states. The proclamation released by the White House says the travel ban affects the 26 European countries in the Schengen Area. That's most of Europe, but not “all.”
 ___
 TRUMP: "These prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval." — Oval Office address.
 THE FACTS: That is wrong. The White House quickly clarified that the restriction on movement from Europe "only applies to human beings, not goods and cargo.”
 ___
 CHEAP GAS
 TRUMP: “Good for the consumer, gasoline prices coming down!” — tweet on March 9, after the price of oil fell nearly 20% and the stock market, already shaken by the coronavirus outbreak, took an even deeper dive.
 TRUMP: “So with gasoline prices coming down, that’s like a tax cut. Frankly, that’s like a big tax cut, not a little tax cut for the consumer. So there’s something about that that I like.” — remarks Thursday.
 THE FACTS: His affection for cheaper prices at the pump is widely shared. It's just that cheaper gas increasingly comes at a cost. The price decline could hurt overall economic growth, which is probably a bigger negative on balance than saving at the pump.
 A drop in oil prices is not as helpful to the U.S. economy as it was when the country was massively dependent on foreign oil. That's because the fracking revolution has made domestic oil and natural gas production a major part of the U.S. economy. A drop in prices hurts that domestic industry. It leads to less drilling, fewer jobs, cuts in factory orders and a host of aftershocks that could leave the nation as a whole worse off.
 The last time oil prices dropped by a comparable amount, in 2015-2016, it contributed to a slowing of economic growth from 2.9% to 1.6%.
 ___
 DEMOCRATIC DEBATE
 SANDERS: “We're the only major country on earth not to guarantee health (care for) all people. We're spending so much money and yet we are not even prepared for this pandemic.”
 BIDEN: “It has nothing to do with ‘Medicare for All’ — that wouldn’t solve the problem at all.”
 THE FACTS: Biden has a point. The coronavirus pandemic has taken countries by surprise regardless of the type of health care system that they have. Spain has a single-payer system, known as “social security” in that country. Italy guarantees coverage for all through a regionally based system. But both countries have struggled to get control of the outbreak, and their governments have been forced to take stringent measures not yet seen in this country.
 ___
 BIDEN: “A Medicare option. We can do that now. I can get that passed. I can get that done, if I’m president of the United States of America.”
 THE FACTS: That’s no guarantee. It's a promise. The health insurance industry is dead set against a public option — a government plan that would compete with private insurers — and would fight it. So would many Republicans and perhaps even some Democrats.
 Democrats originally sought a public plan as part of the Obama-era Affordable Care Act. But they lacked the votes to get it through the Senate, even when they held a commanding majority in that chamber. The same fight would play out again if Biden is elected president. Whether he’s able to secure a public plan depends on the composition of the Senate.
 ___
 SANDERS, to Biden: "You have been on the floor of the Senate time and time again talking about the need to cut Social Security, Medicare and veterans programs. Is that true or is that not true?"
 BIDEN: “That is not true."
 THE FACTS: Sanders' accusation is misleading. He suggests that Biden’s record shows that he would be hostile to preserving Social Security. In fact, Biden’s position has actually evolved over his long public career as a centrist senator. Cutting Social Security is not what he is proposing now.
 Biden’s campaign has pointed to a long list of legislation he supported that increased Social Security benefits. But as an influential legislator who had a hand in passing major bills, he also was willing to enter negotiations with Republicans by considering a reduction in cost-of-living increases.
 Often these changes were presented as a way to cut costs that would save the program.
 During a 1996 candidate debate, for example, he floated the possibility of reducing cost-of-living increases and raising the retirement age to 68.
 Sanders and his allies have also circulated video footage, news stories and transcripts of Biden's past remarks. But in some cases, what appears to be a sweeping statement by Biden lack crucial context.
 One of the principal examples is a clip from a 2018 speech in which Biden appeared to discuss in favorable terms then-House Speaker Paul Ryan’s comments that a rising deficit demanded action on the popular entitlement programs. However, video, circulated on Twitter by a top Sanders adviser, used only a snippet of Biden’s remarks and avoided his larger criticism over how Ryan handled the 2017 tax cuts and subsequent budget debates.
 Other widely distributed videos of Biden as a U.S. senator from Delaware in 1995 and presidential candidate in 2007 show him explaining his support for a more austere federal budget, including putting Social Security and Medicare “on the table.”
 “When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security, as well,” Biden said during a 1995 speech on the Senate floor. “I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits. ... And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time and I tried it a fourth time.”
 The remarks were delivered in support of a federal balanced budget amendment that ultimately failed to win approval and did not relate directly to legislation that would have cut or frozen Social Security spending — or any other specific program. Yet as Biden himself acknowledged at the time, Social Security would likely have faced cuts if such a measure had been approved.
 As the Democratic Party moved leftward — a development that tracks along ever-widening income and wealth inequality — Biden has moved with it. His 2020 campaign platform now calls for raising taxes on upper-income households to shore up Social Security and expanding benefits for some of the oldest seniors.
 “There will be no compromise on Medicare and Social Security, period," Biden said Jan. 20 in Des Moines, Iowa.
 ___
 SANDERS: “I voted against the bailout because I believed that the illegal behavior being done by the people on Wall Street should not be rewarded by a bailout. ... The Fed gave trillions and trillions of dollars in zero interest loans to every financial institution in this country and central banks all over the world. That was essentially a grant.”
 THE FACTS: Sanders is mischaracterizing the steps taken by the Federal Reserve and the stimulus efforts by the Bush and Obama administrations as merely giveaways to banks and Wall Street. It’s true that banks disproportionately benefited from the bailout, but the layoffs and foreclosures of that time would have been even worse without the government’s fiscal and monetary intervention.
 First, the Fed cut the interest rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans to near-zero in late 2008 as the economy was cratering. It also bought government debt and mortgage-backed securities that expanded the central bank’s balance sheet to historic highs. These were not grants as Sanders suggests, but efforts to increase the flow of money into the U.S. economy in order to halt the downturn and boost hiring, business investment and consumer spending.
 Second, Sanders suggests that efforts such as the Troubled Asset Relief Program were in spirit rewarding bankers who should have been criminally prosecuted. But the loans and other initiatives stemming from TARP were about stabilizing the financial markets and other sectors of the economy. Biden correctly noted that failing to stabilize those institutions could have made the situation even bleaker for everyday Americans.
 ___
 BIDEN: "I'm taking all the precautions. I make sure I don't touch my face."
 THE FACTS: As many Americans have discovered, that's easier said than done. He defied two recommended precautions during the debate, coughing into his hand, not his elbow, and touching his face several times, once with his hand on his chin.

 CLEVELAND (AP) — Sharing the primary calendar Tuesday are two states that represent different pieces of America: Ohio, a largely white state that’s barely growing and looking to rebound from a decline in manufacturing, and Arizona, a state where one-third of the population is Latino and growth is exploding. One looks more like the nation's past, the other could be its future.
 It is a contrast that's also playing out politically as the 2020 presidential election approaches. Ohio, for decades a pivotal swing state, has shifted into Republican territory. Arizona may finally be in play for the Democrats.
 Both states hold primaries Tuesday alongside Illinois, a Democratic stronghold, and Florida, another swing state, in the next round of the contests between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders ahead of a general election in which Democrats will fight to wrest back at least two of those states to win back the White House.
 “There’s no plausible Electoral College scenario where Trump loses Ohio but wins reelection,” said Kyle Kondik, author of “The Bellwether: Why Ohio Picks the Presidents.”
 But whether Ohio can still be considered a swing state is a matter of debate. Unlike its Rust Belt counterpart of Illinois, which last went Republican in 1988, Ohio went big for Republican President Donald Trump in the 2016 election.
 Ohio had for decades reflected national voting trends, not just in whom it chose for president, but also in how much that person won by. While Democratic President Barack Obama won the national popular vote by nearly 4 percentage points in 2012, he won Ohio by 3. When Republican President George W. Bush won the national popular vote by 2.5 percentage points in 2004, he won Ohio by 2. But in 2016, Trump won Ohio by 8 percentage points — but lost the popular vote by 2. It was the largest margin between Ohio and the national outcome since 1932, Kondik said.
 The state is whiter and has more voters without college degrees than the national average, both of which make a voter more likely to lean Republican, Kondik said.
 That's partly why Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego of Arizona thinks the collection of swing states is shifting away from Ohio and toward states like his, where the population is more diverse and representative of a coming demographic shift across the country. Arizona has long been coveted by Democrats, and the 2018 midterm elections showed promising signs: Centrist Democrat Kyrsten Sinema flipped the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, and Democrats flipped a U.S. House seat, though the statehouse remained under GOP control.
 Whites are expected to become a minority in Arizona within the next decade. Like the rest of the country, Arizona's Hispanic population is younger, meaning it will steadily become a greater share of the voting population. As Arizona's young voters, Hispanic and otherwise, spread out into the suburbs, they may expect more public investment, which could help Democrats, Gallego said.
 “It does continue to trend blue, and largely because the Latino population is going to become a bigger and bigger portion of the state,” he said.
 While Arizona is known as an attractive state for retirees, its population of voters over 65 — 17% — is just slightly higher than the national average, according to census data. In Florida, a fifth of the population is age 65 or older.
 Statewide, Arizona's population grew 13% over the past decade, more than double the national average. Ohio's grew just more than 1%, and the major city of Cleveland lost population.
 Ohio leaders say the state remains a national mirror. It's home to a growing capital city in Columbus and a diverse population in Cleveland, where about half of residents are African American, and it's indicative of national efforts to rebuild economies in response to the loss in manufacturing and other industries, particularly in rural areas.
 And they say it is premature to write the state off as firmly Republican, partly because Trump's promises to revive manufacturing haven't met reality. A General Motors plant in Lordstown, where incomes are low and less than a fifth of the population has college degrees, shuttered last year despite Trump’s pledges it would stay open.
 “Do I think there is possibility that if Biden is the nominee that Biden could bring some of these working-class folks back? Yeah, I think he could,” conceded John Kasich, the former Republican governor who is anti-Trump.
 Nan Whaley, the Democratic mayor of Dayton, a working-class city, is frustrated that some in her party have seemingly taken Ohio off the table. Republicans won every major state office but one in 2018, and the state's U.S. House representation didn't change despite big gains for Democrats elsewhere. But she and others pointed to U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, the only Democrat to win statewide even with his progressive voting record, as evidence the party can win.
 “I completely believe it is still a swing state,” said Whaley, who also said Hillary Clinton erred in 2016 by not visiting her part of the state. “I don’t believe national Democrats believe it’s a swing state.”
 Contrast Ohio with Illinois, which has suffered similar declines in manufacturing but has remained a solidly blue state. The southern portion of the state has become even more Republican as union jobs wane and diversity lags. But Chicago, the nation's third-largest city, offers a major counterweight. And in 2018, the suburbs began shifting even more toward Democrats, said Christopher Mooney, a professor of state politics at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
 DuPage County outside Chicago, once as Republican as California's famous Orange County, flipped two congressional seats from Republican to Democratic in 2018. Like much of the country, today's swing voter in Illinois may be a 30-something suburban mom who cares about strong schools, prefers low taxes, supports abortion rights and is made uncomfortable by Trump's rhetoric and immigration policies, Mooney said.
 “You can win her, you can win statewide,” he said.
 Then, there's Florida, the nation's third-largest state and one that's brought drama to American presidential elections. Gary Mormino, a professor emeritus at the University of South Florida and the author of “Land of Sunshine, State of Dreams: A Social History of Florida,” called it a true “mirror of America,” with its population of retirees from the Northeast and Midwest and its heavy Hispanic population, which makes up about a quarter of the state.
 In Florida, older voters have strong voting power. That could benefit Biden and hurt Sanders, who draws his biggest base of support from young voters. Sanders has also angered some of Florida's Cuban voters for his comments praising aspects of the country under dictator Fidel Castro's leadership. The state offers 219 delegates on Tuesday, the third-largest haul behind California and Texas, which have already voted.
 While Florida voted for Trump in 2016 and has Republican statewide leadership, Democrats still view it as a swing state in November.
 By the time Tuesday's results are counted, Old and New America will either agree on a Democratic nominee or split in a way that keeps the campaign going.

 TOKYO (AP) — Millions of people began holing up at home, stocking up on supplies and keeping a wary eye on how close they got to friends and neighbors as fear of the coronavirus spread to more places around the world Monday.
 Resorts closed on the Las Vegas strip. Restaurants offered only take-out, if they were open at all. Schools, concerts, sporting events — even small-scale St. Patrick's Day parties — were canceled.
 It's a reality Northeast Asia has been living with for months, but while the focus of the pandemic appears to be shifting away from its original epicenter, many in Asia continue to urge vigilance against anything that might hurt hard-won gains.
 “If we loosen our grip on the quarantine, it could be a matter of time for the embers of small-scale cluster infections to be revived,” the South Korean mass-circulation Dong-a Ilbo newspaper said in an editorial Monday.
 China, where the virus was first detected in December, now accounts for less than half of the world's 169,000 cases, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
 A shutdown of public gatherings and a quarantine of the hardest-hit central region has steadied China's caseload as the virus spreads rapidly elsewhere. Most of the world's 77,000 recovered patients are in China.
 Formerly ubiquitous traffic began returning to Beijing. Office buildings, however, enforced strict screenings for fever, and most restaurants only offered take-out. Children usually snowed under with classes and homework found themselves glued to screens, shopping, chatting and watching video clips.
 As the world inched toward a shutdown of much of public life — bars, restaurants, school, work — Asian cities have become increasingly worried about importing cases of the virus from abroad after making inroads containing its spread at home.
 Starting Monday, travelers arriving in Beijing from overseas will be quarantined for 14 days in designated facilities at their own expense. Previously, people without symptoms could self-quarantine at home.
 In the latest tally, China's National Health Commission reported 16 new cases of the coronavirus in the previous 24 hours. Twelve of them were imported from overseas, including four in Beijing.
 China now has 80,860 confirmed cases. The health commission said that 67,749 patients have recovered and been discharged from hospitals. Fourteen more deaths were reported in the last 24 hours, raising the toll to 3,213.
 Though China still has the most infections, a dozen other countries have more than 1,000 cases, mostly in Europe.
 Religious leaders gave sermons to empty pews or to the faithful watching online Sunday after public worship was curtailed in many places. The Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem's Old City was being closed indefinitely, and the Vatican closed off next month's Holy Week services to the public. Still, 83-year-old Pope Francis ventured out of the Vatican to visit two churches in Rome to pray for the sick.
 In the United States, health officials recommended a limit to groups of 50 or more people and a government expert said a 14-day national shutdown may be needed. Americans returning from abroad encountered chaotic airport health screenings and closed-down communities.
 There are signs that the coronavirus outbreak in South Korea is slowing down, but officials are still scrambling to prevent infections from exploding again.
 South Korea on Monday reported 74 more cases over the past 24 hours, a day after it announced 76 new cases. The figures are the lowest daily increase in new infections in about 25 days. That's a stark contrast with the more than 900 new cases reported on one day in late February.
 There are still worries that new infections might surge again from those returning from Europe or from locals who are reportedly resuming attending mass gatherings like church services. There have been calls for authorities to further postpone the new school year, which was to begin on March 23 after two rounds of delays.
 South Korean Prime Minister Chung Se-kyun said the country’s decline in virus cases was a “hopeful sign” but urged caution over widening outbreaks across Europe and the United States.
 Chung said South Korea should “never loosen its guard.”
 On the first day of Spain's quarantine, long lines formed for food as police patrolled. Soldiers and police sealed off the Philippines' densely populated capital, Manila, from most domestic travelers. Austria planned to limit people's movement, and Lebanon was put on lockdown, closing down Beirut's famed seaside corniche.
 As the public curtailed their daily lives, governments also adjusted.
 The prime ministers of Australia and Singapore announced on Monday that they will meet by video conference after Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong canceled an Australian visit this week.
 "Business and governments can carry on even through the midst of all this," Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Seven Network television.
 Several Australian states Monday declared public health emergencies that create punishments for failing to comply with self-isolation orders. Australia’s most populous state, New South Wales, has suspended new jury trials because of the virus.
 In Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s government secured a law allowing him to declare a state of emergency in case things worsen, though he says it still hasn't reached that point.
 For most people, the coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, and those with mild illness recover in about two weeks. But severe illness including pneumonia can occur, especially in the elderly and people with existing health problems, and recovery could take six weeks in such cases.
 Efforts to stop the virus from spreading to the most vulnerable and to not overwhelm health care systems with sick patients are pushing calls for people to avoid public crowds or just stay home.
 “I think Americans should be prepared that they are going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing,’’ Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health told NBC’s ”Meet the Press.’’
 Ireland ordered all pubs and bars to close for two weeks — including on Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day — and urged people not to hold house parties. Two pub industry groups had warned of the “real difficulty” in keeping people apart in the country's famous watering holes.
 Italy on Sunday reported its biggest day-to-day increase in infections — 3,590 more cases in a 24-hour period — for a total of almost 24,747. And 368 more deaths brought its toll to 1,809, more than a quarter of the global death toll.
 “It’s not a wave. It’s a tsunami,” said Dr. Roberto Rona, who's in charge of intensive care at Italy's Monza hospital.
 Governors in California, Illinois and Ohio told all bars and restaurants to close or reduce their number of customers. New York City will shutter the nation's largest public school system as early as Tuesday, sending over 1.1 million children home.
 With fears increasing that the pandemic will depress U.S. economic growth, the Federal Reserve took emergency action by slashing its benchmark interest rate to near zero and deciding to buy $700 billion in Treasury and mortgage bonds.
 Spain was under lockdown amid a two-week state of emergency. Spain's Health Ministry said the country has recorded 288 deaths, up from 136 on Saturday. The number of infections rose to 7,753 from 5,700.
 “From now, we enter into a new phase,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, whose wife tested positive. “We won’t hesitate in doing what we need must to beat the virus. We are putting health first.”

 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is calling on people to stop hoarding groceries and other supplies as one of the nation's most senior public health officials urged Americans to act with more urgency to protect themselves and others against the coronavirus. Dr. Anthony Fauci said he would like to see aggressive measures such as a 14-day national shutdown.
 “You don't have to buy so much," Trump said at a news conference. "Take it easy. Just relax.”
 Trump assured Americans, after speaking with leading grocery chain executives, that grocers would remain open and that the supply chain remained healthy. Speaking at the same White House news conference, Vice President Mike Pence urged Americans to buy only the groceries they need for the week ahead.
 The comments from the president came Sunday after the government’s top infectious disease expert said he would like to see Americans to hunker down even more to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
 Still, Fauci said travel restrictions within the United States, such as to and from hard-hit Washington state and California, probably would not be needed anytime soon.
 Officials in Washington were preparing for what was expected to be a long-haul effort to try to stem the virus that has upended life around the globe.
 “The worst is yet ahead for us,” Fauci said. “It is how we respond to that challenge that is going to determine what the ultimate endpoint is going to be.”
 Trump, on the other hand, offered an optimistic outlook even as officials said the infection rate in the U.S. was surging. The president acknowledged that the virus was “very contagious” but asserted that his administration had “tremendous control” over the spread of the disease.
 Trump said expressed pleasure that the Federal Reserve announced Sunday it was taking emergency action to slash its benchmark interest rate to near zero. The move intended to help the economy withstand the coronavirus came a day after Trump once again threatened to fire or demote Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.
 “It's really great for our country,” Trump said of the central bank's actions.
 Earlier Sunday, Trump held a call with more than two dozen grocery store and supply chain executives to discuss their response to the coronavirus outbreak. Retailers have reported shoppers flocking to stores to stock up on food and other essentials. Consumers have expressed frustration that some items — such as hand sanitizer and toilet paper — are becoming more difficult to find.
 It wasn't just supply shortages that had Americans frustrated — calls are mounting for better access to coronavirus tests.
 The Trump administration said millions of new coronavirus tests would be made available in the coming weeks, including tests that speed processing of samples, but it was encouraging Americans to exercise restraint in seeking to get tested.
 Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coordinator for responding to the pandemic, said those most vulnerable to the respiratory disease and the healthcare providers treating them should go first.
 “We ask you to prioritize them and prioritize them in the lines,” she said.
 Birx cautioned there will be a “spike” in positive results as more people gain access to tests.
 Pence said that he and the president would brief the nation's governors on Monday “specifically about our expanding testing to the American people."
 Chad Wolf, the acting secretary of Homeland Security, acknowledged that many travelers were facing “unacceptable” long lines as they waited to be screened at U.S. airports this weekend. He said average wait time for screening was down to 30 minutes at most airports, but the problem had not been fixed for those arriving at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
 Pence said the federal government on Monday will release updated guidance concerning restaurants, bars and other establishments. California and Illinois are among jurisdictions that have ordered restaurants and bars to close to help slow the spread of the virus.
 Asked whether restaurants and bars around the nation should close for the time being, Fauci said he wanted to wait for the guidance to come but allowed, “That could be.”
 Expanded protocols were also on the way to protect the president and his staff. Starting Monday, those who enter the White House complex will have their temperatures taken.
 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Congress had started work on a new aid package after the one just approved by the House early Saturday, which provided direct relief to Americans with sick pay and other resources and was pending in Senate.
 “We have already begun work to develop a third emergency response package,” Pelosi wrote in a letter to colleagues.
 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said late Sunday the next package should have even more resources for Americans, the health care industry and “significant steps to secure our nation’s economy.”
 With the U.S. Capitol among the many iconic landmarks closed to tours, Pelosi also urged lawmakers to have most of their Washington staff telework from home, as health officials urge social distancing. House lawmakers are away on weeklong recess and many have already curtailed office visits at their local offices, as well.
 Fauci, the public face of the administration's messaging during a round of morning TV interviews, said the country should do as much as “we possibly could,” even if officials were criticized for overreacting. He said he raised the issue of measures such as a shutdown with the Trump administration, and said officials were open to his ideas.
 “I think Americans should be prepared that they are going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing,” said Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.
 For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The worldwide outbreak has sickened more than 156,000 people and left more than 5,800 dead. The death toll in the United States is more than 50, while infections neared 3,000 across 49 states and the District of Columbia.
 The vast majority of people recover. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three weeks to six weeks to recover.
 Trump in recent days has imposed sweeping travel restrictions for much of Europe. On Saturday, he added the United Kingdom and Ireland to a list of countries that would face travel restrictions over the next 30 days. The State Department on Sunday said it would allow U.S. personnel to leave their diplomatic or consular posts worldwide if they or family members were medically determined to be at a higher risk of falling very ill if exposed to the virus.
 Trump also has pledged broadened U.S. testing for the virus as major employers such as Apple Inc. have sent workers home to telework and several states and big cities, including Los Angeles and Boston, shuttered down schools for a week or more.
 Trump has suggested that restrictions on travel within the U.S. to areas hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic could be next. But Fauci on Sunday played down that or having major national lockdowns on the level now seen in European countries such as Italy and Spain.

中評社台北3月16日電（記者 鄭羿菲）針對“行政院”日前宣告台中市生煤自治條例部分無效，被認為是卡中國國民黨台中市長盧秀燕，新北市無法獨善其身。國民黨新北市長侯友宜16日受訪時僅就新北市生煤部分強調兩次“這是地方權限”，他說，新北市在地方權限中採更嚴格管制，舊有生煤採國際性標準，新設生煤則不再允許，這是地方權限。

 外界認為台電台中火力發電廠（簡稱中火）燃燒生煤發電空污爭議是導致2018年民進黨前台中市長林佳龍落選的主因，而即便由盧秀燕執政，蔡政府為了搶發電，中火空污議題仍持續延燒，盧秀燕日前以《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》連續開罰，而“行政院”13日宣告自治條例部分條文抵觸《空污法》失效。

 外界認為前新北市長朱立倫2016年7月就不再發生煤使用許可期限，而若侯友宜仍持續保持對黨內政治要角悶不吭聲的態度，未來“行政院”也可能循例套用在新北市，導致侯友宜2023“無媒城市”成芭樂票。

 侯友宜16日出席“新北環狀線大坪林站視障按摩旗艦店開幕”記者會，國民黨新北市議員劉哲彰、陳儀君也都出席。侯友宜會後接受媒體訪問時僅就新北市部分回應，新北市已經對新設生煤的許可不准再核發，這是地方的權限，原來舊有的生煤設備則採取國際性標準，以最嚴格的方式、最先進的設備來做更替，所以新北市在地方權限中會採取更嚴格的管制。

中評社台北3月16日電／“中央”流行疫情指揮中心昨天下午在記者會宣布，新增6例新冠肺炎確診個案，流行疫情指揮中心指揮官、“衛福部長”陳時中說，“這是單日新增最多境外移入病例的一天”，令人擔心的是案59的高中男生，他於確診前社區活動活躍，且長達10天，與友人打球、聚餐，他所就讀班級也因此停課，成為疫情以來，學校班級停課的首例。

 疫情指揮中心表示，該名男高中生1月與家人至希臘旅遊，3月5日返台，12日發病，15日確診。莊人祥表示，這名學生沒有補習，接觸者還在匡列中，已掌握同住家人7位，同班同學6人聚餐，其他朋友3人，球友等其他接觸者還在調查中。

 “教育部”國教署署長彭富源表示，根據停課標準，高中以下學校1班有1名師生被列為確診病例就要全班停課，該高中生班級從今天起，停課14天，停課學生都可線上補課，不影響受教權。

 疫情指揮中心表示，案58為廿多歲北部女學生，1月赴西班牙留學，回台前一天體溫偏高，13日返國時在發燒篩檢站被採檢並確診，初步掌握同住者5人。她是否發覺身體不適而回台？莊人祥說，許多歐洲學校關閉，最近還有很多學生搭機返台。

 至於案54為北部30多歲男子，2月28日至3月1日去泰國旅遊，後又於5日至8日去北海道，回國後11日發病，初步匡列接觸者31人。

 案55為北部五旬男性，3月3日至12日擔任埃及旅遊團領隊，12日返國後發燒，初步匡列接觸者33人。至於案56及57為北部40多歲男性、北部70多歲女性，3月4日參加同一土耳其旅行團，目前掌握兩人家人共19位。

 指揮中心昨天將埃及旅遊疫情警示提升至第二級（警示），因各國已通報多起具埃及旅遊史個案，著名景點尼羅河遊船也發生數起大型群聚感染事件，台、美、日等國都有旅客返國後發病。案55這次赴埃及帶團，也有3天時間在尼羅河遊船上。

邱豑慶醫師在臉書中貼出來自“中央”流行疫情指揮中心針對案54到案59的確診通報可揭露之資訊。（麻的法課-邱豑慶醫師臉書粉絲專頁）

 中評社台北3月16日電／截至15日下午4時，台灣新增6例境外移入新冠肺炎病例（案54至案59），指揮官陳時中表示，這次一口氣確診6位創下單日最高紀錄。對此，麻醉科醫師邱豑慶在臉書粉專“麻的法課－邱豑慶醫師”發文貼出確診通報資訊，並痛罵案54“泰國和北海道早就已經提升警示了，還故意要去？”

 許多網友也紛紛譴責留言表示，“真心覺得無言，就是覺得自己免疫力好存著僥倖心理，以為自己不會得到。”、“某個程度希望這些人留下永久的影響，才會永遠記得教訓”、“他們去玩，結果回來浪費大堆人力救他們”、“要他們全額自費啊，實在讓人生氣”、“怎麼還是會有人 完全只考慮到自己 而不是暫緩出國啊！”、“這樣濫用會擊潰防疫人員！”

 不過，也有人提出不同看法，表示“這段期間還去警示區玩真的沒道德。但3／11的時候，泰國還沒被列入警示區”，但也馬上被人反駁說“就算還沒被列入警示區，非常時期、潛伏期有多長，自己真的都不會判斷嗎”、“搭飛機就是風險很高的事了”。

 麻醉科醫師邱豑慶臉書全文如下：

 案54.

 30多歲年輕人，泰國和北海道早就已經提升警示了還故意要去。
￼
 ＃去一個不夠你有去第二個嗎？

 ‘機票好便宜，飯店好便宜，沒人跟我搶，不衝一波嗎？’

 ‘反正中標回來，健保會治療我啊，我又不是沒繳稅沒繳保費’

 新增的幾例，大部分都是堅持出國玩的。

 大家可以共體時艱，不要再出國了嗎？

 這真的跟流感不一樣，感染武漢肺炎以後有可能留下永久的傷害哦。

中評社台北3月16日電（記者 倪鴻祥）台灣大學公共衛生學院針對疫情發展情形，今天上午舉行“抗COVID－19防疫整備說明會”，指出當前疫情已屬於全球大流行的階段，台灣在防疫措施上必須居安思危，應建立國際防禦生態線，而不以單一國家為考量。

 對於中央流行指揮中心總指揮陳時中不同意台灣採取英國打算採取放任民眾染病、繼而普遍取得免疫的“群體免疫”（herd immunity）防疫政策。陳秀熙也認為此法萬萬不可，因為若讓如果讓大部分的人都染疫，會讓防疫能量較弱、有慢性疾病的老年人造成更大的危險，如果邊境上防堵不佳，也會進而傳染到防疫能量較脆弱的國家。

 台大公共衛生學院院長詹長權、副院長陳秀熙、食品安全與健康研究所所長陳家揚上午出席“抗COVID－19防疫整備 說明會”，除了學生在教室聽課外，學院還在一旁的拱北講堂開闢直播，方便學生分散入座，降低感染風險。

 陳秀熙建議，世界各國領袖應召開聯合國層級的領袖會議，用全世界的角度來討論疫情是否應列入國際檢疫法定傳染病，才能提高各國對於防疫的對策。

 陳秀熙指出，當前疫情發展，美國疫情擴散快速，從2月26日至3月14日為止共有50州淪陷，確診人數共2660人，59人死亡；歐洲國家有49國淪陷，共4萬6581人確診，1813人死亡；其他像是非洲也有20個國家淪陷，南美洲的巴西、阿根廷、秘魯、智利都已淪陷，亞洲各國也都開始出現確診病例，證明疫情已屬於全球大流行的階段。

 陳秀熙說，現在全球大流行的階段令人擔心，因為健康、醫療體系較脆弱的國家面對武漢肺炎大流行會是嚴峻的考驗。

 台中市政府秘書處副處長李政峯今天接受媒體採訪表示，市府已於3月13日發布“因應COVID－19疫情防疫規範”，對市府及所屬機關各類活動、訪客、洽公、物流、會議及用餐等訂定規範。

 李政峯指出，市政大樓為“集合式辦公場所”，受理勞工、社會福利、法律諮詢等各項業務，加上物流、外送人員，每日進出人數約達66000人及3000人次，在人流眾多情形下，市府以最高原則加強各項防疫措施。

 被問到假如民眾不願配合實名登記怎麼辦？李政峯說，市府會柔性勸導，若民眾不願依規定洽公，洽公時程勢必拖長，相信民眾會願意配合換取洽公效率，也呼籲民眾防疫時期，可多利用線上申辦與電話洽詢，減少出入公共場所，守護自身與他人健康。

中評社台北3月16日電／繼台中亞緻大飯店熄燈後，麗緻餐旅集團旗下台北亞都麗緻飯店傳出受到新冠肺炎疫情影響，公司要求員工自4月1日起3個月，每個月放6天的無薪假。台媒報道，亞都麗緻飯店副總經理羅明威表示，亞都麗緻已與主管機關進行接洽，且徵求同仁同意，惟飯店仍繼續營運，並持續推動住房與餐飲業務。

 新冠肺炎疫情重擊觀光旅遊相關產業，以國外商務客與觀光客為主要客源的台北市國際觀光飯店更是重災區。根據《中時電子報》報道，進入3月後台北各家國際觀光飯店住房率出現雪崩，平均都在10%－20%間，部份飯店住房率更是只有個位數。為此各飯店人資部門都已擬妥無薪假方案，只是顧及形象面子，沒有人願意跑第一，如今亞都麗緻飯店開一槍，等於掀開了壓力鍋鍋蓋，預料後續會有更多國際觀光飯店跟進。

 羅明威證實，新冠肺炎疫情仍持續嚴峻重創旅館市場，消費者大幅縮減旅遊與各項消費，短期內未見曙光，而因公司不願在此時裁員失去任何一位家人，為了能讓公司走更長遠的路才得以繼續照顧每位同仁的家庭，所以希望所有同心和公司一起共體時艱，同舟共濟，攜手共渡難關。

 至於有亞都麗緻員工向媒體爆料指出，亞緻餐飲（台中亞緻大飯店）員工如果在3月17日之前離職，公司將收回已發放的年終獎金，且被資遣的同仁年終獎金亦將被收回。對此羅明威表示係子虛烏有、亂扣帽子。羅明威強調，台中亞緻飯店去年雖賠了數千萬元，但仍發給同仁1.15個月年終獎金，按績效表現，最高可領到1.95個月。如今飯店結束營業，並沒有收回年終獎金，且資遺190多位員工一切照勞基法規定，每個同仁會按資遺費再另加發25%。

 針對媒體指陳，位於微風信義“麗緻巴賽麗廳”也即將結束營業，員工皆須被降級才能回到“台北亞都麗緻”上班一事，羅明威表示，為專注本業，麗緻餐旅集團數年前即陸續收掉館外餐飲事業，微風信義“麗緻巴賽麗廳”更早在2016年即結束營業，“希望媒體多查證，不要胡亂報道”。

台灣大學財務金融學系暨研究所專家教授陳嫦芬今天在臉書發文暗指，確診案例中有一位是台大畢業生，任職於金融業。（照片：陳嫦芬臉書）

 中評社台北3月16日電／台灣昨日新增6例新冠肺炎確診案例，為案54至案59，全部都有海外旅遊史。其中案54為北部30多歲男子，前匯豐（HSBC）金融控股集團董事總經理暨台灣區總裁，台灣大學財務金融學系暨研究所專家教授陳嫦芬今天在臉書爆料，暗指該名男子是剛踏入職場幾年的台大管理學院畢業生，任職於金融業國際大機構，原本前景看好，但現在不僅自己得病、連累主管同事，導致機構閉門至少兩週，校友同事都氣憤難平。

 陳嫦芬還說，他在金融業前途已毀，是自己造成的，必須承擔後果，無可推託。台大再添一起辜負社會期待的案例，這些譴責或失望，如她一樣的百萬校友，也只能難受地照單全收。

 根據流行疫情指揮中心資料，案54為北部30多歲男子，2月28日至3月1日去泰國旅遊，後又於5日至8日去北海道，返台後11日發病，初步匡列接觸者31人。

 流行疫情指揮中心昨天在記者會宣布有6名境外移入病例後，就有網友在PTT發文爆料，稱其中有一個確診的人在外商上班，出國前身邊的同事不斷勸告“不要去”、“很危險”，但是那個人仍以機票很便宜的理由執意出國，最後甚至還欺騙公司說只是在國內旅遊。

 陳嫦芬臉書全文如下：

 《一時僥倖的代價難以承擔》＃自我檢討 ＃正向能量

 昨日金融圈一片譁然，話題焦點人物是位踏入職場剛幾年台大管院畢業生。原本前景看好，好不容易進入國際大機構，擁有高薪、常能海外旅遊的高大上青年，不僅自己得病、連累主管同事，導致機構閉門至少兩週，並且可能成為疫災緊急下，台灣社區感染的超級傳播源，面對法律責任追究以及社會輿論的批評。這麼大的烏雲罩頂，即使聰明以為可以僥倖的人，已足以把自己嚇崩潰了。

 他金融業前途已毀，是自己造成的，必須承擔後果，無可推託。知情者～特別是校友同事～氣憤難平，台大再添一起辜負社會期待的案例，這些譴責或失望，如我一樣的百萬校友，也只能難受地照單全收。

 頂尖大學的好科系從來不能保證個人品德操守或是否履踐社會責任。台大的校友貪污枉法的有、殺人犯罪的也有，都讓學校名譽蒙塵，我同樣認為他們愧對家人、師長，甚至國人。這無法推託責任給學校，更多是個人素養、價值觀的問題。

 我認識這位年輕人，幾年前的課堂上，他認真進取，優異表現，我曾肯定他在實習單位的努力，期許他日後成就的機會。這次引致的災禍，我雖感到非常意外，難過地想像此經歷定會成為他終生牢籠式的夢靨。我誠摯祈願他深刻懺悔，認錯抱歉，也早日康復，重回人生正軌。同時，我也對於眼下傳媒的說法，保留些許空間，容或查證其與事實的差距。

 此事件的知情者若略斂撻伐，借鑑年輕人的錯誤，正向警惕旁人，便是補償社會的疏漏，功德一件。這麼說真不是鄉愿護短，只是以為更緊要的事情還有待大家進一步參與努力。尚且，每個人都有遭遇特殊情境而扭曲自我的人生際遇，“哀衿勿擾人”是這次疫災緊急期間，我觀察人性暗黑處處可見時，時時自惕的心態，願供參考。

 週日天晴，台大杜鵑花節吸引很多遊客。我在傅鐘下聽到一位女孩問父親：“這鐘又不好看，也不能讓它響，有什麼好看的？”父親說：“妳以後能來這裡上學，就會懂得，每個人聽到的聲音都不一樣。”我抬頭拍下了這張照片。

中評社高雄3月16日電（記者 高易伸）高雄市阿蓮區光德寺住持淨心和尚上個月15日圓寂，享耆壽92歲，15日舉行讚頌大會，藍綠政黨大咖皆到場追思，場面莊嚴隆重。淨心和尚弘法十方，“總統府”秘書長陳菊代表蔡英文頒發“褒揚令”，讚揚一生“護國衛教”付出巨大貢獻；中國國民黨主席江啟臣頒發華夏一等獎章，並由高雄市黨部主委莊啟旺、黃國山黨部主委史忠義等人共同覆蓋黨旗，以緬懷老和尚貢獻。

 由於治喪期間適逢新冠肺炎病毒疫情，寺方也不敢大意，入寺內所有人員都需先量額溫，蓋通過印章，所有政治人物也依循規定，非常守規矩。

 淨心老和尚生於1929年，於1950年依新竹法源寺斌宗長老出家，1962年投禮白聖長老門下承接臨濟宗法脈，為白聖長老在台灣第1位嗣法弟子。佛教界尊淨心和尚為一代宗師，也是中國佛教會第13、14屆理事長，以及世界佛教華僧會會長。中國佛教會對他的逝世表示“慧燈寂滅、法幢摧折、眾生失怙、悲不可抑”。

 追思大會上，包括馬英九、吳敦義、國民黨主席江啟臣、高雄市長韓國瑜、高雄市黨部主委莊啟旺、黃復興黨部黃國雄支黨部主委史忠義及多位藍營議員皆到場。綠營包括府秘書長陳菊、“內政部長”徐國勇、台南市長黃偉哲、綠委劉世芳、林岱樺、許智傑等人到場致哀。

中評社台中3月6日電（記者 方敬為）新冠肺炎重創經濟，五星級亞都麗緻飯店出現營運虧損，股票今日停牌，其位在台中市的亞緻大飯店傳出可能收攤。中國國民黨籍市長盧秀燕今天表示，市府推出“紓困九箭”方案，助各行業度過難關，針對亞緻飯店的情況會深入了解，提供援助。

 台中市政府今天召開“紓困九箭”方案記者會，包括市長盧秀燕、經發局長張峯源、勞工局長吳威志、地稅局長沈政安等人對外說明台中市產業紓困措施。

 盧秀燕表示，台中市協助產業度過疫情難關，推出九大方案，包括減免或緩收租金、減稅、貸款協助、員工訓練補助、生活補助等，同時將紓困對象擴大，從攤商夜市擴大到公司、商號與自然人，並創造公私合力互助，引進民間五大銀行協助各行各業紓困。

 盧秀燕指出，這次疫情百業受創，今天傳出台中亞緻飯店也受到波及，可能熄燈，市府會持續關注，透過關措施盡力協助產業紓困，為台中經濟損失止血。

 台中亞緻飯店於2007年開幕，成為台中市指標五星級飯店，並成為城市地標之一，據了解，該飯店經營業者亞都麗緻自2017年起已連續虧損兩年，今年又受新冠肺炎疫情影響，虧損擴大，衝擊飯店業營運，今天宣布上櫃股票暫停交易，旗下飯店很可能吹熄燈號。

中評社3月14日電／“行政院”13日宣告《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》部分條文應屬無效。台中市政府表示，將依法聲請“釋憲”，並向“司法院”提出定暫時處分。

 台電台中火力發電廠燃燒生煤發電爭議持續延燒，台中市政府日前引用《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》規定，連續對台電開罰，引發蔡政府不滿。

 “行政院”13日表示，已發函台中市政府說明《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》部分條文牴觸《空污法》、《固定污染源逸散性粒狀污染物空氣污染防制設施管理辦法》相關規定，應屬無效。

 台中市政府13日晚間發布新聞稿表示，生煤管制自治條例是由台中市議會依法制定，2016年公布，已生效施行4年，期間針對相關污染源，環保局也落實管制，“中央”從未宣告無效，“行政院”卻在市府依法關閉中火2部燃煤機組後，迅速宣告條例無效，市府將依法聲請“釋憲”，並向“司法院”提出定暫時處分。

 環保局長吳志超表示，前市長林佳龍當初制定生煤管制自治條例，就是為了改善中火及多家大型用煤業者污染排放，守護中部人健康，如今“行政院”宣告自治條例部分無效，過去依據自治條例所處分的廠商恐將溯及既往，市府將無法順應世界潮流，積極管制燃煤空污。

 吳志超指出，中市近20家用煤業者“室內煤倉也不用蓋了”，煤炭即可直接曝露於環境中，對中部人造成健康威脅。從2016年管制生煤自治條例公布以後，環保局就根據自治條例的規定，對相關污染業者進行管制，條例不只規範中火，還包括中龍鋼鐵、正隆、永豐餘等近20家企業廠商都有約束力。

 法制局長李善植表示，前市府2016年1月公告生煤管制自治條例，要求4年減四成生煤，根據“環保署”2016年函文“行政院”，也認為自治條例對減少生煤使用的相關規定，並未牴觸空污法，至今生效施行超過4年，“環保署”從未宣告無效，如今突然宣告無效，時間點令人質疑。

 關於“行政院”宣告無效，市府表示，將依地方制度法第30條規定，提起大法官“釋憲”，在大法官做出決定前，會依法提起定暫時處分，使“行政院”宣告部分條文無效，先暫時停止執行。

中評社台中3月6日電（記者 方敬為）新冠肺炎重創經濟，台灣“行政院”對此規劃新台幣600億元紓困特別預算，中國國民黨籍台中市長盧秀燕今天向中央呼籲，加速通過特別預算，若在牛步拖延，百業都受不了，也希望中央在預算分配上秉公處理，一定要根據各地方的情況做適當分配，否則就失去紓困意義。

 台灣“行政院”規劃“嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎防治及紓困振興特別預算案”600億元，目前正在“立法院”審查，台中市長盧秀燕今天率經發局長張峯源、勞工局長吳威志、地稅局長沈政安等人召開台中市產業紓困記者會，針對中央600億元預算發表看法。

 盧秀燕表示，新冠肺炎疫情讓各地經濟受損，台中市在這波疫情當中的經濟損失還在估計當中，但可以預期規模不小，許多產業別受損慘重，市府除了自行提出紓困措施，也希望中央的600億元特別預算盡早通過、核撥。

 盧秀燕指出，台中市為全台人口數第二大城市，她呼籲，中央在分配預算時，應考量每個城市的商業活動及人口數量，做合適的比例分配，務必秉持公平、公正原則撥付資金，台中市政府將積極爭取，讓台中的產業界度過難關。

中評社台中3月9日電（記者 方敬為）中國國民黨新任黨魁江啟臣表示，未來黨中央將與藍營執政縣市加強合作、資源整合，讓市政有感爭取選民認同，同黨籍台中市長盧秀燕今天對此表示，選舉結果很明顯的“翻轉國民黨”，相當期待合作，並相信江啟臣能帶領國民黨進步改革。

 江啟臣和盧秀燕2018曾角逐國民黨台中市長黨內提名，盧秀燕以不到1%的差距，險勝江啟臣，取得提名。

 台中市長盧秀燕今天下午出席消防局第三救災救護大隊廳舍增建工程動土典禮，針對新任國民黨黨主席江啟臣發表看法。

 盧秀燕表示，她曾提到，所支持的黨主席“在地合作”會是重點之一，江啟臣主席同時是台中市區域“立法委員”，與台中有地緣關係，很樂見江勝選，也期待未來能夠相互合作，促成國民黨持續向前。

 至於黨主席選舉結果投票率低，外界認為指標性不足。盧秀燕則指出，這次的黨主席選舉，可以說是展現國民黨基層黨員的意志，選舉結果很明顯的“翻轉國民黨”，她認為，仍具有指標，她對江啟臣非常有信心，江對政治事務、黨務相當熟稔，相信可以帶領國民黨往改革的方向前進。

中評社台北3月9日電（記者 鄭羿菲）中國國民黨新任主席、“立委”江啟臣9日上午在中央黨部宣誓就職，而現場恭賀江啟臣就任的花籃只有6盆，其中黨內政治人物送的花有國民黨高雄市長韓國瑜、台中市長盧秀燕，而韓國瑜的花籃就放在黨中央門口，一進來電梯旁的第一位，盧秀燕的花籃則擺放在最末位，若不仔細看還不容易發現，而未見國民黨新北市長侯友宜的祝賀花籃。

 江啟臣9日上午10時於中央黨部宣誓就職，前主席馬英九、吳敦義、吳伯雄等人也出席觀禮，多位大老也出席，象徵國民黨在新主席產生後，團結再出發的氣勢。不過，馬英九、吳伯雄都有上台致詞，而吳敦義除了進場時獲得媒體關注拍攝外，就默默地坐在台下恭賀，並沒有上台致詞，且典禮結束後也未多做停留。

 罷韓團體今天以4輛貨卡送交罷韓第二階段連署書40萬份，韓國瑜在2020大選落敗後，面臨重大危機，但韓國瑜仍未忘記江啟臣今天也將舉行就職黨主席典禮，特意送上一盆祝賀當選“任重道遠”的花籃，被擺在國民黨門口一進來的最顯眼處。

 無獨有偶，盧秀燕致贈的花籃也同樣是寫“任重道遠”，但卻被擺在最末位，沒注意看還會被前面較高的花籃遮擋著看不到。韓國瑜與盧秀燕是唯二藍營地方縣市首長致增花藍祝賀江啟臣擔任黨主席，而國民黨花蓮縣長、中常委徐榛蔚則親自到場祝賀。

中評社台中3月14日電／“行政院”13日宣布《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》部分條文無效，而該條例是民進黨籍“交通部長”林佳龍在台中市長任內訂定通過，林佳龍針對其任內通過的自治條例遭否決表示，中央《空污防制法》有修正，自治條例也應配合做適度調整，盼中市府盡速修正。

 台中市政府先前引用《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》向台中火力發電廠祭出撤照處分，但遭“行政院”駁回，並指該條例部分條文牴觸《空污法》等中央法規，應屬無效。

 《中央社》林佳龍曾在台中市長任內推動管制生煤，13日也對外發表看法。

 林佳龍說，在他市長任內，根據自治條例促成中火減排減污、降低生煤用量、配合空污季降載、興建室內貯煤倉，並敲定燃煤機組改為燃氣機組的能源轉型期程，而盧市府上任後，也曾用同一自治條例來要求中火改善。

 林佳龍說，身為台中市民，深刻瞭解台中市民期待空污改善的心聲，因此努力在能源轉型和空污減量之間努力求取平衡，與中央政府建立良好的溝通，一起改善空污。

 他認為，這項自治條例是讓台電中火改善的策略和手段，盼別把中火和自治條例視為卸責或炒作的提款機。

 林佳龍也說，過去一年來，中央的法規修正了，但地方的自治條例卻沒有跟著做適法性的調整，媒體報道環保署曾提醒台中市政府，但台中市政府並未修正，甚至擴權裁罰，最終導致這個自治條例與中央法令對撞。

 林佳龍表示，市長雖然已經換人了，但還是真心希望空氣真的能夠換新，雖然自治條例部分條文被宣告無效，期待台中市政府加油，可以針對被宣告無效的法條提出修正，負起責任，具體改善各項空污的污染源。

中評社台中3月3日電（記者 方敬為）因應新冠肺炎造成的經濟損失，台灣“行政院”通過新台幣600億元紓困特別預算，中國國民黨籍台中市長盧秀燕今天在市政會議中，要求各局處備戰了解相關內容，積極向“中央”爭取經費，助台中產業紓困，度過疫情災損。

 台中市政府今天召開市政會議，市長盧秀燕與29個局處首長出席討論，針對“行政院”600億元的“嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎防治及紓困振興特別預算案”，盧秀燕指示各單位首長“加強留意、掌握，盡量爭取”。

 盧秀燕表示，“行政院”因應肺炎疫情紓困編列600億元特別預算，“立法院”各委員會昨天也已選出召集人負責審查，包括防疫作為、減稅及補助等紓困措施，這是“中央”資源，會分配到“衛福部”、“經濟部”、“教育部”等部會，各部會再對應地方政府需求分配。

 盧秀燕要求市府各局處留意掌握中央各部會研擬的相關草案及資訊，當這筆經費分配到各局處的時候才能夠盡速運用，雖然“中央”也可能跳過地方政府直接發放，但也有可能針對各縣市自身的防疫作為審查補助，因此市府必須了解並做好相關計劃，極力爭取這筆預算，為台中產業界謀取最大福利。

中評社台中3月10日電（記者 方敬為）清明節將至，中國國民黨籍台中市長盧秀燕今天主持市政會議表示，清明祭祖是中華民族盛大的民俗活動，但今年剛巧碰上新冠肺炎疫情，台中市公有墓地、納骨塔等已建立“線上祭拜系統”，鼓勵海外台胞透過網路祭祖，慎終追遠兼顧防疫。

 新冠肺炎疫情延燒，華人清明祭祖民俗活動是否成為防疫破口，近期引起各界討論。台中市長盧秀燕今天召開市政會議，針對清明節的防疫措施，要求市府有關權責單位務必做好。

 盧秀燕表示，清明節將來臨，這對中華民族而言是非常重要的活動，世界各地的華人將會四處流通，不亞於春節移動，不過，今年清明卻碰上肺炎疫情，人民祭祖的心沒辦法禁止，但鼓勵海外台胞可以改採取“遠端線上祭祖”的方式替代，台中市公有墓地、納骨塔等已建立“線上祭拜系統”，市府也鼓勵民間業者建立相關係統，讓各界都可以進行線上祭祖。

 盧秀燕說，當然線上祭祖無法全面實施，還是有民眾需要親自祭奠掃墓，要求市府有關權責單位務必做好防疫措施，墓地周邊交通維持也要做好，公墓、私墓務必完備，因應清明祭祖旺季。

中評社香港3月10日電／石油輸出國組織（歐佩克）近期未能與俄羅斯就原油限產達成新的協議，世界頭號石油出口國沙特阿拉伯宣布將自4月份開始大幅下調官方石油售價並提高產量，國際油價近日因此出現恐慌性暴跌，投資者避險需求急劇上漲，帶動全球股市、匯市、債市等金融市場掀起巨瀾。

 新華社報道，股市方面，9日全球股市多數在前一個交易日受挫的基礎上深度下跌。紐約股市9日開盤出現暴跌，隨後跌幅達到7%上限，觸發熔斷機制。截至當天收盤，道瓊斯工業平均指數下跌7.79%，標準普爾500種股票指數下跌7.60%，納斯達克綜合指數下跌7.29%。

 歐洲三大股指當天全線下跌。倫敦股市《金融時報》100種股票平均價格指數收盤下跌7.69%。法國巴黎股市CAC40指數下跌8.39%。德國法蘭克福股市DAX指數下跌7.94%。

 在中東市場，沙特國家石油公司股價暴跌引發沙特股市連續第二個交易日大幅下挫，沙特基準股指開盤即下跌超9%，最終收跌超7%。卡塔爾股市跌幅超9%。埃及股市基準股指跌幅也超7%。

 拉美重要產油國巴西聖保羅股市9日開盤後狂跌10%以上，從而觸發熔斷機制。聖保羅證券交易所指數收盤時暴跌12.17%，創下1998年9月10日以來最大單日跌幅。巴西石油公司股票受挫最為慘重，跌幅接近30%。阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯股市梅爾瓦爾指數收盤暴跌13.75%。

中評社台中3月14日電（記者 方敬為）中國國民黨籍台中市長盧秀燕以減煤、改善空污為由，依據《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》撤銷台中火力電廠執照，“行政院”13日宣告該條例牴觸《空氣污染防制法》等“中央”法規，部分條文無效。綠營舉動與“空污整治”背道而馳，削弱藍營對台中火力發電廠的掌控，操作是否適得其反？值得關注。

 台中火力發電廠為中台灣規模最大的固定空氣污染源，國民黨籍盧秀燕2018年競選台中市長時強打“空污整治牌”，最終以21萬票的差距打敗民進黨籍林佳龍，盧上任後以改善空污為施政重點，而台中市政府掌握中火的執照審核權，加上擁有“台中市管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例”政策工具，嚴格管控中火燒煤用量。

 盧秀燕2019年底依據自治條例規定，要求中火自2020年1月26日起減少用煤量達40%，撤銷中火兩部機組執照；但由於與減煤期程與中火認知不同，引起台灣電力公司反彈向“行政院”提起訴願。“行政院”13日對此宣告，該自治條例牴觸空污法規定，宣告條例無效，並駁回市府處分，引發爭議，市府決定聲請“釋憲”。

 蔡政府否決台中市政府的自治條例，且不惜背負“逾越地方自治權”的質疑，與挑戰台中市民對清靜空氣的渴望，顯示民進黨政府欲藉此壓縮國民黨掌握中火運作權力，然而為何綠營會冒逆民意風險？究其原因，與企業的缺電壓力、入夏後將面對的用電高峰期有關，而民進黨為落實“2025非核家園”，在將逐步減少核電的情況下，火力電廠便十分重要。

 台中火力發電廠為台灣規模最大電廠，據台灣“經濟部”能源局統計數據，中火在全台供應發電比例中占達20%，而近期將進入春、夏季用電量高峰期，假如中火2部機組因為台中市政府撤銷執照，無法發電，全台能源供應會相當吃緊，對民進黨政府而言，能源不足所產生的問題，恐怕比空氣污染引起的民怨還難以處理。

 但值得注意的是，“行政院”宣稱牴觸“中央”法規的“台中管制生煤條例”，卻是在綠營前台中市長林佳龍任內所通過，民進黨政府否決該條例，形同“自己人打自己人”，空污管制政策大轉彎，容易落人話柄。

 此外，藍營從2018縣市長選舉到2020大選都強打“空污整治牌”，雖然該策略在2020成效不彰，但改善空污仍然是民眾普遍共識，蔡政府若操作不慎，很可能讓藍營再度“撿到槍”，後續是否招致民怨反撲，值得觀察。

中評社北京1月16日電／國家發改委14日下午發布通知表示，自2019年12月30日國內成品油價格調整以來，國際市場油價小幅波動，按現行國內成品油價格機制測算，2020年1月14日的前10個工作日平均價格與2019年12月30日前10個工作日平均價格相比，調價金額每噸不足50元。

 根據《石油價格管理辦法》第七條規定，本次汽、柴油價格不作調整，未調金額納入下次調價時累加或衝抵。

 據悉，本次調價是2020年第一次調價，本次調價過後，2020年成品油調價將呈現“零漲零跌一擱淺”的格局。下一次調價窗口將在2020年2月1日24時開啟。

 隆眾資訊分析師李彥表示，以當前的國際原油價格水平計算，下一輪成品油調價開局將呈現下行的趨勢，幅度在130元／噸左右。目前來看，由於伊朗局勢的緊張氣氛逐漸緩和，近期油價開始回吐之前的漲幅，整體態勢趨弱，預計下一輪成品油調價下調的概率較大。

 但中宇資訊成品油分析師許磊認為，中東地緣衝突對國際油價的影響消化殆盡，中美貿易戰簽署相關經貿協議或將支撐國際油價。雖然此前一個交易日國際原油暴跌，對應的下一輪成品油零售價格小幅下調，但國際原油仍有上行的空間，下一輪成品油零售價格是否調整仍需進一步關注。

中評社北京12月27日電／據經濟參考報報道，記者從多家社會監測機構了解到，近期原油價格整體呈現震蕩上漲的態勢，本輪成品油零售限價將迎來上調，調價窗口將於12月30日24時開啟，這也將是2019年國內油價最後一次調整。

 11月中國工業產值及零售總額超出預期增加，美國原油庫存下降，以及石油輸出國組織（歐佩克）擴大減產等消息利好市場。與此同時，美國活躍石油鑽井平台數量大增等消息利空市場。多空綜合影響下，原油水平處於震蕩小幅上漲的態勢，但是由於本周期初原油價格水平較高，故而本輪原油價格均值高於上一計價周期，國內參考的原油變化率持續處於正值。

 卓創數據顯示，截至12月25日收盤，國內第八個工作日參考原油變化率為5.19%，對應汽柴油上調215元／噸，折合升價，92＃汽油上調0.17元／升，0＃柴油上調0.18元／升，如若按照此幅度調價，消費者加滿一箱油（50L）成本提高8.5元。

 “距離調價只剩兩個工作日，且目前原油市場暫無重大利空消息傳出，本輪調價大概率迎來上調，調價窗口將於12月30日24時開啟。”卓創資訊分析師張瑾怡稱。

 回顧過去的一年，國際油價的走勢可謂“跌宕起伏”。國際貿易局勢複雜多變和對美國經濟可能陷入衰退的擔憂，曾令國際油價在2018年12月24日跌至一年多低點。進入2019年，隨著歐佩克與夥伴國推出新一輪減產行動，國際油價顯著反彈。不過，由於進一步延長減產協議遲遲難以出爐，國際油價在2019年5月和6月出現顯著下跌。此後，國際油價一直在熊市裡震蕩，雖然沙特阿拉伯關鍵石油設施在9月中旬遭襲一度令油價短暫跳漲。不過，國際石油市場供需形勢和沙特富餘產能的緩衝令油價很快回落至此前的波動區間，直到年底迎來轉機，出現明顯回升。

 截至2019年12月24日，美國西得克薩斯輕質原油期貨和英國布倫特原油期貨主力合約收盤價分別為每桶61.11美元和67.20美元，較2018年末分別上漲34.6%和24.9%。

 金聯創分析師奚佳蕊認為，2020年國際原油市場應關注歐佩克與夥伴國減產、美國總統彈劾案、英國“脫歐”進程、地緣政治風險等，預計2020年美國西得克薩斯輕質原油期貨價格的主流運行區間為50至70美元／桶，英國布倫特原油期貨價格為55至75美元／桶。

中評社香港3月10日電／星島日報今天社論說，環球金股市場爆發股災，美股杜指昨晚開市暴挫二千點，跌幅逾百分之七，倫敦富時一百指數跌逾百分之八，港股恒生指數則急挫一千一百多點，跌幅逾百分之四，造成環球股災皆因大國爆發兩場大戰，一是美俄及中東產油國的油價戰，另一是西方國家陷入新冠肺炎迅速蔓延的苦戰。由於兩場大戰都需要時間平息，短期恐慌情緒仍難紓緩。

 石油輸出國組織與俄羅斯等國的減產協議在本月底屆滿，雙方就維持減產協議的談判在上周五破裂，導致美國期油價格上周五急跌近百分之十，沙特周六大幅降低售油價格，並表示未來會增產，觸發美國期油價格再暴挫三成，一度跌穿每桶二十八美元水平，與十年低位相若，比起去年底的六十二美元，已急跌超過一半。

 產油國無法就減產達成共識，主因是俄羅斯拒絕繼續減產，希望發動減價戰，以重挫美國頁岩油生產商。外間估計美國每桶頁岩油生產成本約為三十美元，由於油價近年企於此價格之上，令美國頁岩油生產大增，未來將嚴重威脅俄羅斯等國賣油，加上美國近月又出手打擊俄羅斯出售能源予歐洲，故觸發俄羅斯發動油價戰。石油期貨市場今天大亂，導致其他商品期貨、外滙市場及股市都爆發大調整。

 油價戰似七傷拳 傷人傷己

 此外，雖然中國的新冠肺炎疫情漸見緩和，但西方國家的爆發方興未艾，意大利一日確診逾千宗，令意國要將北部包括米蘭和威尼斯等經濟重鎮緊急封城；德國、英國的確診數字又見一天逾百宗，美國則因政府抗疫措施混亂而備受質疑，西方大國“疫戰”頻頻失利，更加添全球金融市場壓力。

 環球經濟及金融市場受到左右夾擊，短期內動盪難止。相對而言，美俄中東等國的油價大戰，或許能較快得到紓緩。油價暴挫，對產油公司不利，但對環球經濟其實有幫助，可以降低運輸及工業生產成本，因此要擔心的是美俄及中東等大國油戰，會否觸發部分產油國步向破產邊緣，又或美俄等大國因油價不和，擴展至其他領域的爭鬥亦變得尖銳。

中評社香港3月10日電／新冠肺炎疫情全球肆虐，又撞上石油價格戰，市場避險情緒高漲，環球貨幣本周開局就非常動盪。每美元兌日圓昨日一度高見101.57，升至2016年底以來高位；截至昨晚10時報102.46，升2.78%。市場人士認為，若市場避險情緒持續，日圓升破100不難；惟下周日本央行議息，加碼推刺激經濟措施機會大，屆時日圓或略有回軟。

 星島日報報道，新冠肺炎疫情令環球經濟雪上加霜，市場避險情緒亦不斷上升，日圓兌美元匯價於短短約半個月內，由112附近水位，一路向升至昨日的101.57日圓，升9.3%；若單計昨日，一天之內升約3.6%。華僑永亨銀行經濟師李若凡表示，市場憂慮疫情持續擴散或進一步損害環球經濟前景，再加上油市崩盤，避險需求持續升溫，帶動日圓抽升。另外，美債息創紀錄新低，而日圓利率下跌空間有限，市場對息差收窄的預期亦利好日圓。

 東亞銀行高級外匯市場策略師葉澤恆則稱，若市場情緒持續恐慌，日圓匯價仍有機會續升，甚至升穿100關口亦不是難事；但日本央行將於下周議息，市場普遍認為其會推寬鬆貨幣政策，日圓有機會因此略有回軟。他續稱，暫時來看，每美元兌日圓有機會跌至104至105附近水平，之後或再上漲，這將視乎市場避險情緒是否持續。

 瑞穗證券首席債券策略師Noriatsu Tanji認為，現時外匯市場波動遵循貨幣政策的方向，日本最好採取行動遏制日圓漲勢；但鑑於日本降息空間有限等，日圓的公允價值約在100，因此逼近100關口是日本央行行動的一個衡量標準。

 日圓急升，有找換店向本報表示，昨日及近期買入日圓的客戶明顯減少，反而賣出日圓則有所增加，主要是因日本防疫措施令港人難以前往當地旅遊；且近期其他貨幣的交易亦較為淡淨，除少數客戶買入其他貨幣進行儲值。

 除日圓外，其他貨幣亦震盪，受油價大跌拖累，與石油相關的貨幣受到衝擊，其中加元一度低見1.3766，跌2.59%；截至10時報1.3593，跌1.3%。美匯指數昨日一度跌至94.650，創約一年半低位；截至10時報95.027。

 人民幣方面，彭博數據顯示，在岸及離岸人民幣過去一個月中雙雙上漲0.9%左右，於亞洲貨幣中僅次於日圓。而昨日人民幣匯價現波動，在岸人民幣早段上漲225點子，觸及逾一個半月高位，隨後回吐，截至10時報6.9490；離岸人民幣則一度高見6.9049，升275點子，截至10時報6.9522，升198點子。另外，人民幣中間價連續第7日上調，昨日報6.926，較上一交易日升77點子。

中評社北京2月5日電／國家發改委4日下午發布通知表示，根據近期國際市場油價變化情況，按照現行成品油價格形成機制，自2020年2月4日24時起，國內汽、柴油價格每噸分別降低420元和405元。

 至此，繼上一輪調整擱淺後，國內油價迎來年內首次下調，下調幅度創下近7個月（2019年6月11日24時國內汽柴油每噸分別下降465元、445元）以來新高。以油箱容量50L的普通私家車為例，本輪油價下調後，加滿92號汽油大約少花16元。截至目前，今年以來，國內成品油價格調整呈現“零漲一跌一擱淺”格局。

 對於國內成品油市場走勢，多家咨詢機構表示表示，目前，為控制新型冠狀病毒感染的肺炎疫情擴散，全國範圍內迎來企業延長假期、高速限行、公共交通停運，絕大部分民眾居家避險，私家車出行頻率與出行半徑大幅萎縮，國內成品油市場消費量急劇下降，傳統的汽油春節需求小高峰已不複存在。由於大型戶外工程、工礦企業、物流運輸等行業短期內難以復工，柴油需求更是處於冰點。

 “由此來看，國內成品油市場受新型冠狀病毒肺炎疫情影響較為明顯，短期內市場仍將面臨需求萎靡，各大煉廠以及主營單位銷售公司資源難銷的現狀。在相關行業陸續復工後，市場也將會經歷一段庫存消化期，預計一季度國內成品油行情將面臨更大的下行壓力。”金聯創成品油分析師王延婷表示。

 下一輪成品油調價窗口將在2月18日24時開啟。

 對此，隆眾資訊分析師李彥表示，以當前的國際原油價格水平計算，下一輪成品油調價開局將呈現下行的趨勢，幅度在450元／噸左右，主要受近期油價連續弱勢積累影響。

 “目前來看，由於突發公共衛生事件對原油需求預期和經濟前景形成抑制，近期利空因素占據上風，預計下一輪成品油調價下調的概率較大。”李彥告訴記者。

 卓創咨詢成品油分析師徐娜也認為，下一輪計價周期初，原油變化率或依舊處於低位，不排除下一輪國內成品油價格繼續下調的可能性。

 2020年國內油價歷次調整：

 2月4日24時 國內汽、柴油價格每噸分別降低420元和405元

 1月14日 國內成品油價格不作調整。

中評社北京2月21日電／全國平均來看：92號汽油每升下調0.33元；95號汽油每升下調0.34元；0號柴油每升下調0.34元。央視財經記者給您算了一筆賬，按一般家用汽車油箱50L容量估測，加滿一箱92號汽油，將少花16.5元。本次調價是2020年國內成品油調價窗口出現的第二次下調。

 根據國家發改委消息，新一輪成品油調價窗口將於今天（2月18日）24時開啟。

 據國家發改委價格監測中心監測，本輪成品油調價周期內（2月4日—2月17日），國際油價繼續大幅下降，平均來看，倫敦布倫特、紐約WTI油價比上輪調價周期下降9.20%。受此影響，國內汽油、柴油零售價格下調。

 成品油價格下降 加滿一箱油少花16.5元

 央視財經記者從國家發改委獲悉，本次油價調整具體情況如下：汽油每噸下調415元，柴油每噸下調400元。

 全國平均來看：

 92號汽油每升下調0.33元；

 95號汽油每升下調0.34元；

 0號柴油每升下調0.34元。

 央視財經記者給您算了一筆賬，按一般家用汽車油箱50L容量估測，加滿一箱92號汽油，將少花16.5元。本次調價是2020年國內成品油調價窗口出現的第二次下調。

 國際油價繼續大幅下降

 調價周期內，市場關注的焦點依然集中在新冠肺炎疫情的影響上。由於擔憂全球原油需求放緩，投機資金繼續大幅減持多頭倉位，拉動原油價格下滑。美國商品期貨交易委員會數據顯示，截止到上周，倫敦洲際交易所、紐約商品交易所的WTI原油期貨期權淨多頭分別比前一周減少20.10%、7.0%。美國原油庫存則連續第三周增加，達到去年12月以來的最高點，也對油價產生打壓，周期內原油期貨價格一度降至去年12月以來低點。平均來看，本調價周期倫敦布倫特、紐約WTI原油期貨價格分別為每桶55.30美元、50.78美元，分別比上期下跌10.15%、8.25%。

 國家發改委價格監測中心預計，短期內新冠肺炎疫情將繼續對原油市場產生影響，油價仍將繼續承壓。全球各大機構已紛紛下調今年原油需求預期，國際能源署稱一季度全球原油需求可能減少43.5萬桶／日，並將全年需求增長預期從119萬桶／日下調至82.5萬桶；歐佩克發布報告將2020年全球原油需求增長預期從122萬桶／日下調至99萬桶／日。目前，歐佩克已考慮提前召開會議討論產量政策，市場預計歐佩克及其盟友可能會加大減產措施，以應對原油需求增長放緩的影響，該預期已對油價產生一定支撐。綜合預計，短期內油價將呈震蕩走勢。

 年內油價變動一覽：二跌一擱淺

 2020年，國內成品油調價已呈現“二跌一擱淺”的格局。截至本次調價，汽油價格累計每噸下調835元，柴油價格累計每噸下調805元。

中評社北京12月27日電／記者從多家社會監測機構了解到，近期原油價格整體呈現震蕩上漲的態勢，本輪成品油零售限價將迎來上調，調價窗口將於12月30日24時開啟，這也將是2019年國內油價最後一次調整。

 截至2019年12月24日，美國西得克薩斯輕質原油期貨和英國布倫特原油期貨主力合約收盤價分別為每桶61.11美元和67.20美元，較2018年末分別上漲34.6%和24.9%。

 金聯創分析師奚佳蕊認為，2020年國際原油市場應關注歐佩克與夥伴國減產、美國總統彈劾案、英國“脫歐”進程、地緣政治風險等，預計2020年美國西得克薩斯輕質原油期貨價格的主流運行區間為50至70美元／桶，英國布倫特原油期貨價格為55至75美元／桶。

中評社高雄3月16日電（記者 高易伸）新任中國國民黨主席江啟臣15日首次拜會深陷罷韓危機的高雄市長韓國瑜，兩人闢室會談近1小時，隨後由黨務系統大方發出新聞稿及照片。江韓兩人展現默契且有同盟趨勢，藍軍2020雖吞敗，罷韓如火如荼，但江身為新任黨主席卻主動破除外界“切割”、“不挺”傳言，未來應會盡力助韓度過危機。畢竟罷免戰場若無法阻絕在高雄，勢必影響台中與新北，以及藍軍2022的地方執政。

 話說江韓連線早有脈絡可循，首先，江啟臣愛將鄭照新於2020大選時曾加入韓競選團隊並擔任發言人一職，選後鄭又隨韓返回高雄市政府擔任新聞局長一職。鄭照新過去在江啟臣“立委”辦公室歷練長達8、9年時間，如今江出借愛將給韓，除利用市府平台給鄭歷練之外，也有擔任江韓聯繫的橋樑功能。鄭身段柔軟且擅溝通，在韓團隊中可發揮回應綠營與罷韓團體的各種質疑攻擊，達到輿論平衡之效。

 其次，親韓的國民黨台南市議員謝龍介選前曾因時任黨主席吳敦義開出“不分區名單”引發眾怒而宣布參選黨主席力求改革，當時還引發不少韓粉在各地辦理入黨手續。但江啟臣今年元月1日宣布參選黨主席後，謝竟有默契地減少行程且退出選舉。由此可見“鄭照新的加入”與“謝龍介的退出”多少藏有江韓兩人的默契。

 此外，罷韓團體能否成功運作罷韓還是未定之天？罷韓團體雖以公民團體之姿積極活動，但背後卻牽涉綠營各派系的權力鬥爭與佈局。認同罷韓的高雄市民只知“光復高雄”，但“光復哪個派系的高雄？”卻不是一頭熱連署的市民會深入思考的，況且韓若在高雄真被“公民團體”罷掉，接下來藍營執政的台中燕子（盧秀燕）、新北漢子（侯友宜）都可能成為下一波政治骨牌效應下的犧牲品，“公民團體”在2020、2021年繼續罷免，屆時將對藍軍力保2022地方執政與優勢會出現危機。

 因此新任黨主席江啟臣與高雄市長韓國瑜的“政治停損點”必須鎖定在醞釀罷韓的高雄戰場上。

 可能有人會質疑韓國瑜過去主張的“兩岸關係、九二共識、定海神針”跟江啟臣上任後對兩岸路線的表現會不會衝突或產生區別？但此刻真正關鍵及韓江兩人共同的利益並不在九二共識或兩岸路線之上，韓江二人的路線是否因結盟而趨同或者趨異，恐怕還得另當別論。雖然國民黨2020大敗導致全黨陷入愁雲慘霧之中，但藍軍畢竟尚掌握15縣市執政權，未來如何強化接地氣施政與爭取民意，力保2022選情，不僅是新任黨主席江啟臣的首要之務，也是藍軍個縣市首長努力之處。

中評社高雄3月16日電（記者 高易伸）新任中國國民黨主席江啟臣15日跟深陷罷韓危機的高雄市長韓國瑜舉行閉門會議，黨政策會執行長林為洲、“立法院”黨團書記長蔣萬安、高雄市黨部主委莊啟旺也一起陪同參與。莊啟旺接受中評社訪問表示，江、韓兩人針對多項議題進行意見交換，未來會強化藍軍在“立院”及中央的發聲，協助韓挺過罷免危機。

 莊啟旺表示，罷韓二階段連署書正在高雄市選委會進行審查，萬一進入三階段投票，國民黨中央及地方會全力捍衛韓國瑜，包括在媒體輿論的平衡與攻防，市政建設與防疫工作的推介、宣導，都要積極讓民眾了解。這一塊是敗選後乃至於黨主席選舉前國民黨比較弱的地方。

 莊啟旺指出，新任國民黨主席補選及中常委選舉剛剛落幕，接下來黨務系統也會有新的氣象與運作，今日溝通也針對高雄市政預算爭取、紓困方案等進行討論。尤其綠營現在不只運作罷韓，連台中也有“罷燕”聲浪，可見綠營正在複製高雄的政治手段，要在2022之前透由罷免全面對付藍營。國民黨現在應同舟共濟，把罷韓戰場終結在高雄，否則未來政局持續動盪，對百姓及各項政策工作的推進都不是好事。
 對於綠營部分人士發聲，要新任黨主席江啟臣切割韓國瑜，莫跟高雄民意對立？

 莊啟旺說，新任黨主席江啟臣全力挺韓是確定的，絕非外界所言會切割或不挺韓。綠營這些訴求恐怕是不安好心居多。江身為新任國民黨主席，一定會把藍軍在地方的執政表現凸顯出來，讓民眾知道國民黨在地方施政的努力，不會讓綠營一昧抹黑扭曲。他樂見黨中央跟地方執政縣市有團結一致的想法與方向，未來從中央到地方都會針對各項政策攻防與民眾有效溝通。

 莊啟旺表示，就等行政程序進入第三階段的狀況，國民黨不會坐以待斃。

中評社台北3月14日電（記者 鄭羿菲）連系中國國民黨台北市議員張斯綱接受中評社訪問表示，國民黨主席江啟臣的首要問題是提振藍營支持者的信心，畢竟2020選後不少支持者都非常喪氣，而黨內年輕化是要了解年輕人需求、對話、政黨形象、決策是否符合年輕人想法，是一整個包套的。在網路平台使用國民黨更要急起直追，台灣已有政治人物在使用推特了，國民黨卻都還沒有。

 張斯綱說，國民黨中常委有民意代表身分者雖未過半，但這屆中常委們絕大多數能理解外界給國民黨的壓力，而真正民意在乎的是“決策”與過程透不透明，這些只能期待中常會未來的決策案。至於無黨籍“立委”傅崑萁回黨一事，還不是國民黨現在的當務之急，就順其自然，而傅也能了解一下為何外界反彈聲浪這麼大，改變一下自己的形象，未來阻力會更小。

 1971年生的張斯綱是政治大學東亞研究所法學碩士，曾在就學期間短暫擔任國民黨“立委”韓國瑜辦公室助理，在2004年創立“五六七大聯盟”，促進國民黨內改革，並支持馬英九擔任黨主席，在2007年進入馬英九與蕭萬長的2008競選總部。後來擔任蕭萬長幕僚，也曾擔任過國民黨中央委員。2014年連勝文代表國民黨角逐北市長時，成為連競選班底之一，是連家軍成員之一。在2018年當選台北市議員，並在2020大選時為韓國瑜競選總部策略小組成員之一。

 國民黨在2020敗選後，黨內掀起改革聲浪，由中壯世代的江啟臣當選主席，何為黨內首要處理的問題？張斯綱接受中評社訪問表示，大目標是希望國民黨再度獲得台灣民眾的信賴與支持，而首要處理的問題是讓藍營支持者從鬱卒心情中恢復過來，畢竟2018地方選舉大勝，而去年造勢活動也熱鬧滾滾，大家感覺好像有機會，但最後結果不如預期，感覺很像重摔一跤，跟2016年大勢底定的心理不太一樣。

 張斯綱說，這次國民黨主席補選投票率35.85%，在心理因素上或多或少也是因為失望了，好像不知道投這一票用途在哪，藍營支持者有點喪氣，而技術上的問題是這次投票的點也較少，再加上新冠肺炎疫情嚴重佔據媒體報道聲量，且過去黨主席選舉會綁黨代表選舉，而這次黨主席補選少了黨代表的催票，多重原因影響下投票率比較低。

 至於國民黨如何推動年輕化？張斯綱指出，最快、最有感的方式是黨的重要幹部人事任命以中壯世代為主，且在網路平台上的使用也需要跟得上時代，如IG是很多年輕人網路社群媒體的主流，國民黨雖然有帳號，但並沒有時常更新，甚至台灣政治人物也開始使用推特，而國民黨好像還沒跟上，國民黨得跟得上年輕人的習慣、與年輕人溝通。

 張斯綱也說，再來需要有政黨形象代表人物，2020選舉國民黨也是被戴帽子負面化，民進黨打吳斯懷變成污名化的符號，那國民黨代表人物有哪些，這也會相當程度影響外界對國民黨的印象。

 張斯綱強調，國民黨年輕化不僅是黨主席年齡的問題，而是領導幹部能不能跟社會接軌、跟年輕人對話、了解年輕人需求、政黨形象符合年輕人期待、決策是否符合年輕人想法，這是一整個包套的，也不是只有社群平台帳號就好。

 中評社記者問，國民黨要年輕化，但在台灣年輕族群對國民黨內兩件事有意見，包括中常會總共32席，具民意代表僅14席未過半，如何符合年輕世代的觀感？而無黨籍“立委”傅崑萁回國民黨的案子，也與年輕人觀感相悖，要如何解決？

 張斯綱表示，馬英九時代就有調整中常會的聲音，這個談了很多年，但下一次中常委選舉能調整結構，也需要等這屆中常委去改變規則、自我調整，看是要改規定為具民意基礎者一半以上，甚至是三分之二，需要等待這些中常委們做出決議，江啟臣也可以PUSH這個議題。這次中常委雖有些老面孔，但絕大多數人能理解外界給國民黨的壓力，而真正民意在乎的是“決策”與過程透不透明，這些只能期待中常會未來的決策案。

 張斯綱說，至於傅崑萁回國中黨案件，民眾不滿意的是這件事爭議這麼大，卻還換考紀會主委，感覺為傅量身定做的感覺太強烈，而現在並不是國民黨迫在眉睫的問題，先以個人身份參加國民黨團運作，之後再等反彈聲音小一點再順其自然，而過去“立委”陳玉珍回國民黨也是例子，既然傅崑萁有地方實力，也說自己是永遠的藍軍，那就慢工出細活，

 中評社記者問，此例一開會不會以後地方實力堅強的藍營政治人物都不理黨中央規定亂來？張斯綱提醒，不是每個人都有條件這樣做，傅崑萁是特例，傅自己也可以思考一下外界對他的疑點是什麼，去改變自己的形象，他相信傅崑萁有這樣的身段。

中評社高雄3月16日電（記者 蔣繼平）中國國民黨籍高雄市長韓國瑜昨天和黨主席江啟臣首次在黨主席補選後碰面，對防疫、市政、黨務達成共識一起攜手合作，提升藍軍士氣。韓今天上午到前鎮會勘橋樑工程，藍營議員、里長、支持者等到場關心市政及力挺，氣勢看起來不錯。

 韓國瑜16日上午前往會勘前鎮區“中山四路東側跨越前鎮運河銜接凱福街車行橋工程”，這條路未來完工後可有效舒緩當地車流量，避免為了過河遶道而行，總工程經費估新台幣1億487萬元，預定今年暑假發包、明年暑假前後可完工。

 高雄市副市長李四川、工務局局長吳明昌也都率領團隊到場，國民黨籍高雄市議員曾麗燕、陳麗娜、蔡武宏等人到場全程陪同，鄰近的鳳山區藍營議員也派助理到場，另外近十位當地的里長也到場關心這座橋的施工進度，場面十分熱絡。

 韓國瑜致詞僅短短一分鐘但氣勢十足，他興奮地說“中華路地下道填平後佳評如潮，推動各項工程到現在都沒停過，感謝最棒的工務團隊、感謝在地議員大力爭取，希望幫橋想一個好聽又浪漫的名字，明年迎接一個嶄新的大橋！”

 韓國瑜視察過程不僅有3位支持者到場直播，韓準備上車離開前，前鎮區長李幸娟和里長黃士誠也拿著馬克杯給韓簽名留作紀念，也熱情邀請當地里長一起拍照合影，表達對韓拚市政的支持度，一旁還有民眾忘情大喊“國瑜橋”表達力挺。

 韓國瑜15日與國民黨主席江啟臣在補選後首次見面，進行近1個小時的閉門會談，針對防疫措施、市政內容、政策合作、黨務再造等議題有共識一起攜手合作。江呼籲全黨要團結一致力挺韓國瑜，讓韓有更多的機會來服務市民。韓祝福江任重道遠，為國民黨開創新局、大步向前，對江有信心。

中評社台中3月14日電／“行政院”13日宣布《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》部分條文無效，而該條例是民進黨籍“交通部長”林佳龍在台中市長任內訂定通過，林佳龍針對其任內通過的自治條例遭否決表示，中央《空污防制法》有修正，自治條例也應配合做適度調整，盼中市府盡速修正。

 台中市政府先前引用《台中市公私場所管制生煤及禁用石油焦自治條例》向台中火力發電廠祭出撤照處分，但遭“行政院”駁回，並指該條例部分條文牴觸《空污法》等中央法規，應屬無效。

 《中央社》林佳龍曾在台中市長任內推動管制生煤，13日也對外發表看法。

 林佳龍說，在他市長任內，根據自治條例促成中火減排減污、降低生煤用量、配合空污季降載、興建室內貯煤倉，並敲定燃煤機組改為燃氣機組的能源轉型期程，而盧市府上任後，也曾用同一自治條例來要求中火改善。

 林佳龍說，身為台中市民，深刻瞭解台中市民期待空污改善的心聲，因此努力在能源轉型和空污減量之間努力求取平衡，與中央政府建立良好的溝通，一起改善空污。

 他認為，這項自治條例是讓台電中火改善的策略和手段，盼別把中火和自治條例視為卸責或炒作的提款機。

 林佳龍也說，過去一年來，中央的法規修正了，但地方的自治條例卻沒有跟著做適法性的調整，媒體報道環保署曾提醒台中市政府，但台中市政府並未修正，甚至擴權裁罰，最終導致這個自治條例與中央法令對撞。

 林佳龍表示，市長雖然已經換人了，但還是真心希望空氣真的能夠換新，雖然自治條例部分條文被宣告無效，期待台中市政府加油，可以針對被宣告無效的法條提出修正，負起責任，具體改善各項空污的污染源。

中評社台北3月16日電（記者 張嘉文）針對美國在台協會（AIT）昨發聲明表示，將加強與台灣“衛福部”協調與合作，共同對抗新型冠狀病毒，努力合作研發疫苗和相關藥物。中國國民黨主席、“立委”江啟臣今天受訪時說，國際合作是好事，不需要過度片面解讀這些事，我們也不能排除兩岸的合作，如果中國大陸也願意加入國際醫療合作，我們應該展開雙手，這些都是兩岸可以合作的契機。

 江啟臣今天在“立法院”受訪做出以上表述。

 對於這樣的訊號是否代表台美關係重要進展？

 江啟臣表示，台美合作疫苗是不是第一次？這要確認，台美合作各方面過去以來都有，醫療、公衛乃至於第三國的醫療合作，不管是公部門或私部門都有，由其私部門非常多，台灣的醫療在全世界的非政府組織是非常厲害，非政府國際組織參與上，台灣也參與最多，國際影響力最大，往往擔任要職，所以從非政府的合作提升到政府合作這是一件好事。

 江啟臣說，可能不光是美國，台灣應更有雄心壯志跟醫療大國展開合作，展現這次防疫工作表現的優勢，去尋求管道跟全世界醫療大國進行合作，不只是美國，某種程度可以讓台灣在國際醫療地位從非政府提升到政府，我們樂見。

 台灣的研究成果如果能讓全世界的人都因為這疫苗，或是醫療的發明，不管是藥物或是其他防禦措施而得利，那台灣國際地位不得了，這可以好好發揮。

 至於美方是否用這舉動故意刺激中國大陸？

 江啟臣說，國際合作是好事，不需要過度片面解讀這些事，我們也不能排除兩岸的合作，如果中國大陸也願意加入國際醫療合作，我們應該展開雙手，這些都是兩岸可以合作的契機，兩岸合作也不光是在兩岸，如能納入第三國，第四個夥伴，都是好事。

 他指出，尤其醫療這件事本來就不要過度政治，把政治放兩邊，把人民健康放在中間，這其實才是兩岸的未來，也是台灣跟其他國家合作的未來。

中評社台北3月16日電（記者 張嘉文）中國國民黨主席、“立委”江啟臣15日南下和黨籍高雄市韓國瑜會面。江在臉書發文表示，國民黨現在除了“立法院”之外，最大的優勢就是15個執政縣市。結合黨部、“立法院”與執政縣市，可以完成兩項重要的改革目標，一是分工合作打造有感執政，二是結合縣市創造青年參政機會。

 江啟臣和韓國瑜會面，外面認為是國民黨中央釋出訊號，要全力幫韓度過罷免危機，但也怕因此激化罷韓意識，所以江在臉書文中，並未提到反制罷韓一事，僅強調，高雄沒有國民黨區域“立委”，將要求組發會儘速規劃協調沒有區域“立委”的縣市，由不分區“立委”來進行責任區認養，讓服務零落差。

 江啟臣強調，國民黨上下應該成為一個為民服務的團隊，經由集體領導成立一個溝通聯繫與指揮作戰機制，整合“立院”黨團、執政縣市政府、縣市議會以及智庫的資源，掌握議題趨勢與節奏，提升國民黨的政策力，不但要扮演稱職在野黨，也展現改革的決心。

 以下是江啟臣臉書全文：

 利用週末，啟臣與 黨團總召 林為洲 及書記長 蔣萬安，前往拜會韓國瑜市長。我在主席選舉前就承諾，到各個縣市去聆聽最基層的聲音，國民黨現在的首要任務就是充實基層，讓改革由下而上，這才是接地氣的做法。

 國民黨現在除了“立法院”之外，最大的優勢就是15個執政縣市。結合黨部、“立法院”與執政縣市，我們可以完成兩項重要的改革目標。

 第一，分工合作打造有感執政

 本黨“立法委員”在中央可以協助高雄市議員與“中央政府”溝通、爭取協調預算與地方建設，目前高雄市沒有本黨籍的區域“立委”，我將要求組發會儘速規劃協調沒有區域“立委”的縣市，由不分區“立委”來進行責任區認養，讓服務零落差，落實國民黨“以民為主”的核心價值。

 第二，結合縣市創造青年參政機會

 國民黨更要跟15個縣市長密切合作，要讓人才的培訓在地化，讓人才能夠有服務地方的機會、有歷練的機會，向下紮根，青年的參與讓國民黨可以不斷的推出新思維，新方法，未來才有競爭力。

 國民黨上下應該成為一個為民服務的團隊，經由集體領導成立一個溝通聯繫與指揮作戰機制，整合“立院”黨團、執政縣市政府、縣市議會以及智庫的資源，掌握議題趨勢與節奏，提升國民黨的政策力，不但要扮演稱職在野黨，也展現改革的決心。

中評社北京3月2日電／記者1日從北京市教委了解到，為進一步減輕新冠肺炎疫情對民辦幼兒園和教育培訓機構的影響，將採取減免房租、延期納稅、發放補助等方式進行支持。

 北京市近期出台針對疫情期間民辦幼兒園和教育培訓機構的最新政策規定，教育機構承租北京市及各區屬國有企業房產從事辦學活動，依照防疫規定延期開學或暫停培訓且不裁員、少裁員的，免收2月份房租。承租用於辦公用房的，給予2月份租金50%減免；對承租其他經營用房的，鼓勵業主（房東）減免租金，對減免房租的企業，由政府給予一定資金補貼。

 此外，受疫情影響納稅申報困難的教育機構，可依法辦理延期繳納稅款，最長不超過3個月。對受疫情影響的“定期定額”戶，結合實際情況合理調整定額，或簡化停業手續。

 針對運轉困難且在解決“入園難”方面發揮重要作用的民辦非普惠性幼兒園將給予幫扶，鼓勵具備條件的民辦園轉為普惠性幼兒園。此前經教育行政部門認定且符合條件的民辦普惠性幼兒園，將按時足額發放相關補助。

 據悉，相關政策適用於經各區教委審批的民辦幼兒園（含備案的社區辦園點）和教育培訓機構，經市教委審批的民辦非學歷高等教育機構，以及申請備案的學科類校外線上培訓機構。

中評社北京3月15日電／在14日召開的北京市新冠肺炎疫情防控新聞發布會上，針對記者提出的境外回國人員新冠肺炎就診費用問題，北京市人民政府副秘書長陳蓓作出回應。

 陳蓓說，目前在新冠肺炎的診治上，對境外回國的人員，總體上把握的是兩個方面的政策：

 一是參加了基本醫療保險的人員，在回國過程之中，被確診為新冠肺炎病例和疑似病例的，所發生的醫療費用，按照基本醫療保險的相關規定，報銷以後再實施財政的補助。個人不需要負擔相關費用。

 二是對未參加基本醫療保險的人員，在回國入境過程之中被確診為輸入型的新冠肺炎病例或疑似病例的，所發生的醫療費用，原則上由患者個人負擔。參加了商業保險的人員，可以按照商業保險的合同規定支付相應的費用。

 陳蓓表示，經認定的困難人員，所發生的醫療費用，按照傳染病防治法等法律法規的相關規定，給予醫療救助。下一步北京市還將與國家的相關政策做好進一步的對接。

中評社北京3月10日電／近日，北京市擬立法對物業管理作出規定，將明確物業在突發事件中的職責，並針對業委會成立、物業費收取、專項維修資金使用等長期存在的問題，進行制度創新，把物業管理納入基層社會治理工作格局來統籌考慮。

 面對疫情，社區防控發揮了重要作用。突發事件中，物業應有哪些職責？近日，《北京市物業管理條例（草案）》已提請北京市十五屆人大常委會第十九次會議進行第二次審議。針對物業在突發事件中的職責問題和過往一些物業管理的“老大難”問題，草案進行了一系列制度創新。

 業委會如何產生？

 社區黨組織將積極引導和支持

 當前，為應對新冠肺炎疫情，做好各小區的物業管理工作，有針對性地採取防控措施，很有必要。據此，《條例（草案）》在二審稿中新增了應對突發事件時物業應承擔的責任，對於物業服務人應當如何積極配合街道辦事處、鄉鎮人民政府和居民委員會、村民委員會開展工作給予了明確規定。

 除了新情況，門禁損壞不維修、電梯壞了沒人管……這些物業管理中久拖不決的老問題也困擾著很多小區居民。按照國務院《物業管理條例》，業主對物業公司的監管，都是通過業主大會及業委會來實現。數據顯示，北京現有住宅小區總數10213個，其中已經實施了專業化物業管理項目的小區4772個，成立業主委員會的小區1216個，這也意味著大部分小區沒有成立業主大會和業主委員會。

 去年，建於1995年、有900多戶業主的豐台區芳城園二區，由62位老人聯名，向方莊地區辦事處提交了成立業委會的書面申請。通過黨建引領來解決老問題，成了芳城園二區這次探索的關鍵。“業委會行不行，關鍵在人。從成立籌備組開始，社區黨委就幫忙把關，選出業主們信得過的成員。這些人都是優中選優的黨員業主。”方莊地區黨群工作辦公室副主任周文說。

 北京市人大城市建設環境保護委員會主任委員郝志蘭介紹，《條例（草案）》以黨建引領為主線，對推動黨組織覆蓋和黨員積極參選業委會委員、基層黨組織對業委會委員人選把關等內容作出明確規定，推動物業管理工作從行業管理向社會治理轉變，並納入基層社會治理工作格局來統籌考慮。

 此外，《條例（草案）》還為業主大會的籌備、成立及日常運行提供制度性保障。符合業主大會成立條件的，街道辦事處、鄉鎮政府指定居（村）民委員會工作人員擔任籌備組組長；籌備組負責組織召開首次業主大會，並審議通過管理規約、議事規則，選舉產生業委會委員和候補委員。北京市司法局局長李富瑩說，“社區黨組織有權推薦業委會候選人，引導和支持業主中的黨員積極參選業委會委員，通過法定程序擔任業委會委員。”而對於確實無法成立業主大會的小區，《條例（草案）》提出建立物業管理委員會，賦予其組織業主共同決定物業管理事項的職能，為更廣泛地實施物業服務提供制度基礎。

中評社北京3月7日電／3月5日，北京市紀委監委召開疫情防控醫務人員臨時性工作補助監督工作專題視頻會議。會議要求全市紀檢監察機關督促相關部門履行主體責任，嚴格執行“補貼津貼不得按行政級別確定發放標準”的要求，嚴肅工作紀律，加強監督檢查，切實把黨中央的關懷和溫暖傳遞給每一位奮戰在一線的衛生健康工作者。

 在聚焦疫情防控重點工作和關鍵環節開展監督的同時，北京市紀委監委高度關注一線醫務人員保障措施落實情況，研究分析可能出現的風險隱患，制定專項監督工作方案，並完善協同監督工作機制，及時推動跨部門問題解決，以強有力的監督確保黨中央和市委關心關愛一線醫務人員各項措施落實落地。

 北京市紀委監委相關派駐機構採取多項措施，抓實抓細專項監督。駐市財政局紀檢監察組加強對專項資金的監督檢查，財政部預撥的4億元疫情防控補助資金已及時足額預撥至各區及相關市屬單位。駐市人社局紀檢監察組重點督促駐在單位完善相關政策，明確臨時性工作補助適用範圍、經費保障方式、報審和發放流程等，推動全市疫情防治工作人員臨時性工作補助政策落地。駐市衛生健康委紀檢監察組發揮貼身監督作用，緊緊圍繞市屬醫院臨時性補助、慰問金發放，市紅十字會定向捐款等開展現場督查。

 監督重點在一線展開，問題也要著力在一線解決。北京全市各級紀檢監察機關按照市紀委監委工作部署，深入醫院、社區衛生服務中心一線，對臨時工作補助、一次性慰問補助、衛生防疫津貼等工作情況開展監督檢查。

 嚴格專項經費的開支範圍和標準，嚴防出現弄虛作假、違規發放等情況。朝陽區紀委監委成立監督組對疫情防治人員的基本數據收集、測算和填報等環節開展全程監督，確保補助經費及時足額發放到一線醫務人員手中，堅決防止截留、侵占和冒領等情況出現。該區紀委監委還統籌巡察、審計等力量對補助經費進行專項監督，督促相關單位將發放名單在一定範圍內公示，接受社會監督。

 對物質獎勵和精神鼓勵一體監督。豐台區紀委監委堅持監督關口前移，始終圍繞保障資金安全，防止擠占挪用；保障發放精准，防止虛報冒領；保障足額到位，防止拖欠延誤等開展監督，嚴防領取補助論資排輩、按職定額，輔助崗位比一線崗位標準高、病房外比病房內拿得多等問題發生。該區紀委監委在緊盯補貼資金發放的基礎上，制定十項措施，激勵關愛黨員幹部特別是一線醫務人員擔當作為。他們進一步嚴明紀律，對21個街鄉鎮、89家區屬單位開展全覆蓋延伸監督，堅決防止借疫情防控之機巧立名目，濫發津貼和實物。

中評社北京3月16日電／黃色“手臂”敏捷揮舞，耀眼的焊花此起彼伏，一台台機器人接力配合，讓偌大的車間只需要幾位工人巡查指揮。北京現代順義工廠，早已恢復了往日的繁忙節奏。

 早春時節，北京各大重點企業安全有序複產復工，以確保完成全年經濟社會發展任務。3月15日，市發展改革委披露，截至目前，全市各區規模以上工業企業復工率已經達到88.9%。

 政策“護航”換來複產提速

 不到一分鐘就下線一輛車的速度，得益於北京現代生產車間裡的自動化水平。僅在車身車間，就有325台機器人。

 “我們非常認同一邊做好防控、一邊復工複產的做法。”北京現代總經理尹夢鉉介紹，目前複產率接近100%，各項生產已全面步入正軌，近300家供應商在確保零部件供應。

 北京現代在北京、滄州、重慶三地的工廠有1萬多名員工。這1萬多員工要回到崗位也面臨防疫考驗。為此，工廠啟用了全新的“α生產運營模式”——在保質保量完成生產任務的前提下，兩三個工位配置1名員工，降低人員密度、保持安全距離。

 威訊聯合半導體（北京）有限公司是一家跨國企業。看到工廠裡在疫情期間可以穩定生產，總經理Kazziet Ooi特意給北京點贊。他介紹，該公司90%以上的員工在完成隔離觀察後已經返回崗位，產能已恢復90%以上。在這背後，員工隔離宿舍、停車資源緊張、防護物資缺乏等問題都有相關部門助力解決。

 北京大小各類企業各有各的需求。“針對企業關注的難點問題，本市先後出台了‘打好阻擊戰19條’和‘支持中小微企業16條’兩個文件，盡可能降低疫情影響。”市發展改革委相關負責人說，“19條”注重特事特辦、突出便企利民，給出了具體措施；“16條”則精細研究政策創新，精心篩選務實舉措，精准聚焦突出行業。

 政策密集落地，換來疫情防控有效、復工複產提速。數據顯示，截至3月14日，各區規上工業企業復工率已經達到88.9%，比3月2日提高11.1個百分點。

中評社北京3月14日電／日前，北京市新型冠狀病毒肺炎疫情防控工作新聞發布會上，北京邊檢有關負責人透露，邊檢開通運輸抗疫物資服務熱線，為抗疫物資設立“零等待”邊檢綠色通道。

 北京出入境邊防檢查總站副總站長吉利霞介紹，疫情防控中，北京邊檢總站對來自疫情重點國家和地區的有關人員進行大數據分析研判，將排查出的結果和有關情況，依托聯防聯控工作機制，實時推送海關等有關部門，為及時有效開展涉疫人員醫學排查提供數據支撐，提高排查處置的工作效率。

 北京邊檢嚴格依法依規進行入境人員查驗，發現在境外疫情嚴重國家地區有旅行史、居留史的人員，迅速通報海關開展醫學排查。同時，按照國家移民管理局部署要求，將相關國家地區人員出入境信息及時通報境內前往地有關部門，為開展落地管理提供信息支撐，實現口岸防控與屬地管理的無縫銜接。

 北京邊檢對因企業復工複產需出入境的中外人員，提供高效、快捷、便利的口岸通關服務。開通運輸抗疫物資服務熱線，對捐贈抗疫物資的愛心人士、載運抗疫物資的航班，提供“零等待”邊檢綠色通道，堅持24小時全天候的通關服務。在執勤現場採取分時段、分類型設置旅客候檢區等措施，降低人群密度，嚴防疫情感染傳播。

 為更好地服務出入境旅客，北京邊檢提供24小時熱線咨詢服務（010－56095400），旅客如有關於航班航線、抗疫物資運輸、口岸入出境等問題可撥打熱線咨詢。

中評社北京3月7日電／3月6日23點59分56秒，北京西郊，中國石化燕山石化廠區，碩大的熔噴頭源源不斷地噴出白色纖維，瞬間凝結成雪白的布匹。參建各方600多名員工12晝夜連續奮戰，終於獲得圓滿回報——中國石化和國機恒天集團合作建設的燕山石化熔噴無紡布生產線一次開車成功，產出合格產品。

 作為國內最大的醫衛原料供應商，中國石化在口罩產業鏈中原本是最上游聚丙烯原料的生產者，為了保障中游熔噴布價格穩定和下游口罩產品的供應，中國石化按照國資委快速增產口罩要求，決定打通產業鏈，全面介入熔噴料、熔噴布和口罩生產。

 2月24日，中國石化黨組決定，與國機恒天集團迅速合作，以建設“火神山”的速度，籌建10條熔噴無紡布生產線，要求燕山石化在半個月內建成一座熔噴無紡布生產廠，打通口罩生產全產業鏈。

 在燕山石化投產的熔噴無紡布生產線年設計生產能力為14400噸，包括兩條熔噴無紡布生產線，3條紡粘布生產線，每天可生產4噸N95熔噴布或6噸醫用平面口罩熔噴布，這些原料可以生產120萬片（4噸×30萬片／噸）N95口罩，或者600萬片（6噸×100萬片／噸）醫用平面口罩。

 正常情況下完成這麼一座萬噸級熔噴布生產廠建設，大約需要半年時間。

 燕山石化聞令而動，連夜行動，迅速成立了領導小組，下設6個專業小組，組織指揮協調熔噴布施工建設及生產準備。施工現場迅速組建臨時黨支部，4支黨員突擊隊衝在最前線。為鼓勵高質量高效率完成任務，各施工隊伍之間展開勞動競賽，每個施工隊伍每天還會評出一名明星黨員。此次建設，燕山石化要把一座3600平米舊庫房改造成熔噴布生產廠房。工作人員積極同合作商以及設計、施工、監理單位一起研究制定最優的施工方案，齊心協力組織了一場高難度的立體交叉作業，保障施工作業晝夜不間斷進行。

 2月29日，主廠房設備基礎澆築完成，項目建設轉入設備安裝階段。燕山石化與各協作單位，同心同德，共同嚴格把控施工安全、安裝質量和施工進度。成套設備廠房內，地下有管道作業，地面有土建作業，平台上有大型設備安裝，空中進行著跨地塊吊裝，桁架上還進行防腐和內裝修施工，600名參建人員輪番上陣，工程進展全程受控，一天完成正常情況下3天到5天的作業量。

 3月1日4台風機就位，3月2日升降平台就位，3月3日生產線核心設備熔噴頭安裝成功。3月4日傍晚，最後一車大型設備——兩台駐極機運到現場，包括成網機、卷繞機分切機、駐極機在內的後處理系統連夜完成安裝施工。3月5日早3：30時，熔噴布項目設備安裝工作圓滿結束，比計劃進度提前了29.5小時。6日深夜，經過40小時工藝調試和設備聯運，熔噴布生產工藝流程全部打通。

 此次熔噴布生產全部採用燕山石化自產熔噴料，充分發揮了中國石化上游原料和產品生產的一體化優勢，為熔噴布穩定生產奠定了堅實的基礎。科研與生產的緊密結合，標誌著燕山石化在推進創新驅動、高端引領上又一次實現了新的突破。

 中國石化新聞發言人呂大鵬說，在這場疫情阻擊戰中，前方“打仗”需要口罩盾牌，我們在後方就要抓緊做好物資生產，保障前方所需。在參戰各方密切合作和頑強拼搏下，熔噴布生產線建設搶出了寶貴的48小時，意味著可以多生產出12噸產品，可用於加工成1200萬只醫用平面口罩。

 中國石化另外還有8條熔噴布生產線正在江蘇儀征加速籌建，預計4月中旬建成投產。

中評社台北3月11日電（記者 鄭羿菲）台灣民眾黨甫成立幾個月，黨內正妹新秀蔡宜芳卻與大她20歲的已婚中央委員張益贍爆出不倫戀，被拍到去汽車旅館開房間。民眾黨“立委”蔡壁如11日下午回應，黨籍交由中評會討論，應該這1、2天就會有結果，屆時會向外界報告。因兩人已經嚴重影響黨譽，張益贍最重有可能會被開除黨籍，可能請蔡宜芳離開。

 值得注意的是，張益贍不僅是民眾黨中央委員，還是台北市文化基金會副執行長，算是市府公務員，月薪10餘萬。不過卻被周刊拍到“一天的生活”，早上10時23分才從家中出門，中午和蔡宜芳共進麥當勞，直到下午才到文基會辦公室上班，但僅上班兩個小時就下班，隨後還前往養生會館按摩，晚間再到民眾黨團接蔡宜芳下班。

 民眾黨爆發桃色緋聞不倫戀，黨主席、台北市長柯文哲11日中午赴民眾黨“立法院”黨團開黨政會報，始終不願意面對媒體，不僅來時臉臭到極點，下午2點要離開時也走小路以迴避媒體，讓一干採訪媒體全都對柯文哲的危機處理方式傻眼。

 蔡壁如在黨政會報後接受媒體訪問時表示，今天黨政會報是各部門業務報告，沒有談到這部分，蔡宜芳的事件早上已經定調送中評會處理，也通知中評委們要開會，應該是這一兩天就會緊急開會，等有結果會盡快跟外界報告。

 媒體追問兩人會有什麼樣的處分？蔡壁如說，應該是中評委職責，但已經嚴重影響民眾黨的黨譽，除了張益贍撤職中央委員身份外，最重也有可能會被開除黨籍吧；而蔡宜芳若已經影響到整個團隊的運作，我們可能就會請她離開，至於黨籍一樣是進入中評會討論，黨籍讓中評委決定。

 被問到柯文哲在黨政會報中的情緒與反應，蔡壁如指出，今天柯文哲滿平靜的，只有指示趕緊召開中評會討論。

 針對台北市文化基金會副執行長張益贍的不倫戀，該會今發布聲明指出，本會將待事實釐清後，依本會“財團法人台北市文化基金會人事規則”處理。本會人事規則訂有相關請假手續，如未完成請假手續，而無故擅不出勤者，以曠職扣薪議處外，視情節輕重給予記過處分。本會將立即展開調查，如有屬實，將依本會規定議處。
