In addition, Dr. Takayama told the people in Okinawa, ``At present, the infection is spreading mainly in young people and many are mild, but it is a life-threatening disease for the elderly and people with underlying diseases, so these risks I would like you to refrain from going to meet expensive people or going out from urban areas such as Naha, where there are many infected people."
As for tourists from outside the prefecture, “We have not reported any clusters caused by tourists, and we do not regard tourism as the cause of the current spread of infection.
