More than 100 people in Tokyo for the second consecutive day "I have to think that this tendency will continue" Experts July 3 18:41
About 100 or more infections were confirmed in Tokyo for two consecutive days, Kazuhiro Tateda, Chairman of the Japanese Society of Infectious Diseases and Professor of Toho University, said, ``Two weeks ago, the request for leave was lifted and people started to move. The number of infected people is increasing. During this period, no new measures have been taken, so we must consider that this trend will continue."
Currently, since many young people are confirmed to be infected, unlike the period when the number of infected people surged from March to April, the bed is not tight, but Professor Tada said, ``The infected people are definitely There is a certain number of people whose number is increasing and the route of infection cannot be traced.When infected young people walk around in a healthy state and spread to people at high risk such as elderly people, they face the situation of medical collapse again. It is very dangerous if a similar situation persists," he stressed the need for caution.
Then, regarding the measures that will be required in the future, "3 Avoid infections, disinfect your hands and fingers, and use masks at the right time can considerably suppress infection, but it has become clear that it spreads in an environment where it can not be done. It can be said that this time it is easy to devise measures that focus on points because the areas and industries in which the infection is spreading are known, such as requesting leave from a specific industry in a certain area where a cluster is occurring after compensation. It is an important time to consider concrete measures."
