Thirty-six new cases of the new coronavirus were announced in Chiba Prefecture on the 23rd, and a total of 2,760 cases were announced in Chiba Prefecture.

According to prefectures, the number of newly confirmed infections is 36 for men and women aged under 10 to 70s living in Chiba City and Katsuura City.

Of these, men in their 30s and 60s living in Katsuura City, and those in their 30s living in Isumi City all work at the same company as the men in their 50s living in Otaki Town, who were confirmed infected on the 22nd. Therefore, we are inspecting other employees in the prefecture.

In addition, a woman in her 30s and a man in her 40s living in Chiba City were colleagues in a restaurant in the city, and had contact with a man in his 50s who was confirmed to be infected in the store.

On the other hand, in Funabashi City, a male employee in his 30s, who had been diagnosed with infection in the past and had been cured after the symptoms subsided, complained again and became positive.

The prefecture does not include it as a new infected person because the virus remains in the body and symptoms may have appeared again.

With this, the total number of infected persons announced in Chiba Prefecture has reached 2,760.
