Infected 55 people in Tokyo "Watch out if it could lead to the second wave" Expert Conference Chairperson June 24, 19:24

At a press conference held in the evening about 55 confirmed infections in Tokyo on the 24th, Takaji Wakita, chairman of the expert meeting, said, ``Now, in Tokyo, there is a risk of spread of infections such as night towns. The number of infected people in high places continues to be confirmed, and we are very cautious that the infection will spread to homes, hospitals, and welfare facilities. It means there are invisible clusters," he said.

On the other hand, "At present, the medical care provision system that saves the lives of severely ill persons is in a state of great preparation. I would like to continue to carry out inspections and keep an eye on whether it will lead to the spread of the second wave." I am talking.

Regarding the domestic system to prepare for the second wave of infection, Deputy Chairman Shigeru Omi said, ``The current situation is clearly different from before the spread of the infection, we learned what environment is at high risk of infection. The medical system has also been prepared by experiencing the tense situation. Research results on the actual condition of infectious diseases are also emerging.” He said that there is a possibility that the response could be made smoother than before.

Regarding the general public's future preparedness, Nobuhiko Okabe, director of the Kawasaki Health and Safety Research Institute, who is a member of the expert council, said, "I think it's really difficult to be afraid to do so properly because there is too much or too much information. I would like you not to continue to be as self-restraint as you have been, and not to put everything back as if it's okay, and to act in a way that doesn't touch extremes."
