The number of deaths will be ascertained by the "vital statistics" that are usually conducted. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will make a final decision on the transition to Class 2 on the 5th of next month at a subcommittee of experts.
Daily reporting and publication by prefectural governments has also ceased to be made on the number of people who died, and we plan to grasp the total number of Deaths based on vital statistics in two months, and detailed changes by cause of death in five months.
