“The number of people who have been infected is increasing because half of the people have been unable to follow the infection route within the past one to two weeks,” said Mitsuo Mitsuo, director of the Sapporo Public Health Center. I can't feel relieved because I had a middle-aged infection. It is important that I keep going out and do not need to go out and wash my hands even if the request for suspension of work on the road is canceled. "
