The Saitama Prefectural Board of Education announced that by the 1st, a prefectural high school in Kasukabe City had confirmed the infection of eight male and female students belonging to the same department.

It seems that prefectures, etc., have temporarily closed the school for the time being, because it seems that a group or cluster of infected people has occurred.

According to the Saitama Prefectural Board of Education, one student who attended "Kasukabe Higashi High School" was found to be infected on the 28th of last month, and 62 students who belonged to the same department as this student were examined. It is confirmed that 7 students of both sexes were newly infected.



The prefecture and the prefectural board of education believe that a cluster has occurred, and for the time being, the school is temporarily closed and we are also investigating whether there are other concentrated contacts.
