Regarding the current situation, Dr. Kaku said, “I am not optimistic, but the number of patients per day may be less than the previous day in Tokyo, and in recent days like Hyogo prefecture, In some areas, there is a clear decrease, which means that the measures taken prior to the declaration of an emergency may have been effective to some extent. It will be an important period during which the measures will be evaluated, whether they have been able to change their behavior properly. "

On the other hand, regarding the future outlook, "Even if the number of infected people decreases once, it is very difficult to control because the number of infected people may suddenly increase as soon as the virus is overlooked. It is not realistic to release the emergency declaration all at once in 6 days.Is it realistic to extend the situation while watching the fashion situation or to consider releasing it in stages? Regardless of what we are doing, we must continue to take measures to reduce the amount of contact with people by 80%, avoiding the "three denseness" of sealing, close contact, and crowding, with the determination to associate with this virus for a while.
