Regarding "infection status", if "the number of newly infected people in the last week is about 0.5 or less per 100,000 people", it will be one of the criteria to judge the cancellation. When applied to Tokyo, which has a population of approximately 14 million, the total number of newly infected persons will be "70 or less in a week", which is a guideline for cancellation.
The number of infected people in Tokyo was 173 during the week until the 13th, so it is on the decline, but it does not reach the standard.
