Advisory Committee Chairman Omi Explanation of grounds for seven prefectures New Corona April 7 21:36

At a press conference held by Prime Minister Abe on the evening of July 7, Chairman Shige Omi of the Advisory Committee was present, explaining the grounds for the seven prefectures to be declared an emergency.

Mr. Omi pointed out three points to judge: (1) the total number of infected people, (2) the time it took for the number of infected people to double, and (2) the proportion of patients who did not know the route of infection.

In addition, regarding the situation in Tokyo and Osaka, "It took 2 to 2.5 days for the cumulative number of infected people to double in Italy. In Tokyo, it was about 10 days in early March, but recently it was 5 days. In Osaka, it is about 6.6 days, and the proportion of patients who do not know the route of infection is close to 70% in Tokyo and nearly 50% in Osaka. Although it is not as good as Tokyo, it is designated because it has the same living area as Tokyo, and Hyogo is also integrated with Osaka and the living area. "

Mr. Omi commented on Fukuoka, "The total number of infected people was small, but the time to double the number was the shortest in the country, 2.9 days as of June 6. The proportion of patients who did not know the route of infection was nationwide. The highest, 72% as of the 6th, added to the target area. "
