The Tokyo Metropolitan Government raised the level of alertness for the infection status of the new coronavirus to the most serious expression, “It seems that the infection is spreading” in four stages, but it is the president of the Japanese Society of Infectious Diseases and Toho University Kazuhiro Tateda said of the current infection status in Tokyo, "It is difficult to think that the number of infected people will continue to decline because there are no major infection countermeasures. There are many mild cases now, but as it is If the pace of increase increases, the number of people with severe illness as well as those with mild illness will increase, and we believe that there is a possibility that medical stress will occur.”

In addition, regarding measures to prevent the spread of infection, "Because we know the places where the infection is spreading widely, such as in downtown areas, we have established a system that enables more intensive inspections, requesting leave from limited areas, etc. There is an urgent need for more pin-point countermeasures. If the countermeasures are delayed, there is a risk of medical stress, nosocomial infections, and a bad chain of infections."

In addition, regarding the government's "GO TO Campaign" that will start on 22nd of this month, "It is not the time to have the accelerator fully open and go on a trip." We should think of ways to improve the situation, such as avoiding the "two secrets" and having them travel."
