According to a Tokyo survey, at least 15 of the people who died from the new coronavirus infection announced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government after July were asymptomatic when the infection was known.
In the age of 15, there were 5 people in their 70s and 80s, 3 people in their 60s, and 2 people in their 90s.
In addition, 13 out of 15 had underlying illnesses such as diabetes and cancer.
By infection route, 9 people were infected at medical institutions and facilities for the elderly, 5 people were at home, and 1 person did not know the infection route.
The person in charge of the city said, "It shows that you should not be relieved just because you are asymptomatic. In facilities where there are elderly people as well as the person and family, take thorough infection prevention measures and include people who have been infected in the surrounding area. It is important to have an examination as soon as possible and connect it to treatment. "
