New Corona "Everyone is at risk of infection" Expert 27th July 19:59
About the situation where infections are spreading throughout the country, such as the highest number of infected people reported in various places during the four consecutive holidays until 26th, Kazuhiro Tateda, chairman of the Japanese Society of Infectious Diseases, said ``This Up to now, the infection occurred mainly in a specific area such as a restaurant with entertainment in a limited area, but it has also started to occur at dinners and drinking parties among friends, and not only in Tokyo but also in urban areas. It has spread to rural areas, centered on the department, and everyone is looking at a sense of crisis, as everyone is at risk of infection."
On the other hand, looking at the data on the number of patients on each day of onset, which is said to show the infection status more accurately, it was concluded that the pace of patient increase was slower than that between March and April when the number of patients suddenly increased. "At least for the moment, it's not a situation that could lead to an explosive infection," he said.
In addition, Professor Tateda said, “In the future, if a large cluster such as a large-scale nosocomial infection occurs somewhere and the number of patients doubles, it is necessary to consider issuing an emergency declaration again. The best way to prevent infection is to stop all activities, but since it has the greatest impact on society, it is now necessary to consider how to balance it while paying attention to the infection situation."
