72 new cases of new coronavirus infection have been confirmed in Okinawa Prefecture.


The number of infected people announced on the 1st has exceeded 70 since November 28, last year, when the number reached 76.



On the other hand, since one person who had already been announced as an infected person was duplicated, it was deleted from the cumulative total of infected people, and now the total number of infected people confirmed in Okinawa Prefecture is 5611.



In addition, one woman over 90 years old living in Nago City, who had been confirmed to be infected, has died, and 84 people have died in the prefecture.
