We asked Takao Omagari, Director of the International Center for Infectious Diseases, National Center for Global Health and Medicine about the current status of the new coronavirus.
"The number of newly infected people increases nationwide. Loosening measures will increase the chances of infection."
Director Omagari said, "The number of newly infected people and people who do not know the infection route is increasing not only in Tokyo but all over the country. The restrictions on holding events have been relaxed, but I think it is okay and take measures. I'm worried that if I loosen it, the chances of getting infected will increase if there are many people. "
"It has been tried during these four consecutive holidays."
On top of that, "movement itself is not a problem, and the risk of infection is highest if you take careless actions such as eating in a small space without a mask at a short distance. 3 It is still important to avoid congestion. Nowadays, it is important to be aware of both expanding activities and infection control, and I think that they are being tested during these four consecutive holidays, "he said, calling for thorough basic infection control.
