The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare compiles weekly the status of each prefecture regarding the indicators used by the government subcommittee to determine the status of infection with the new coronavirus.
The indicators are shown for each of the six items, such as the tightness of the bed, and exceed the level that is considered to be the strictest "stage 4" indicator in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which was the subject of the state of emergency.
A government subcommittee says it needs to be lowered to "Stage 3" during the state of emergency.
From the summary released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on the night of the 8th, we will look at 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures and 2 prefectures and 1 prefecture in Kansai, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo.
The tightness of the bed
The index for stage 4 is the bed usage rate of "50%".
As of the 5th of this month, the maximum sickbed usage rate that can be secured was
▽ 78.1% in Tokyo
▽ 70.1% in Hyogo
▽ 64.4% in Osaka
▽ 59% in Saitama,
exceeding "50%".
However, Hyogo Prefecture has a policy of "zero waiting at home in principle" and the usage rate tends to be high, so it is not possible to make a general comparison.
The maximum secured bed usage rate for critically ill patients is
▽ 87.4% in Tokyo
▽ 64.7% in Osaka,
which exceeds the stage 4 index of "50%".
Number of recuperators
The index for Stage 4 is 25 per 100,000 population.
As of the 5th of this month, the number of
people
exceeding this is
▽ 89.3 in Tokyo
▽ 47.3 in Osaka
▽ 47.2 in Saitama
▽ 45.5 in Chiba
▽ 44 in Kyoto
▽ 37.5 in Kanagawa.
PCR positive rate
In the last week, 10% is the index for stage 3 and stage 4.
In the week leading up to the 3rd of this month,
▽ Hyogo is 21.3%
▽ Chiba is 20.5%
▽ Kanagawa Prefecture is 16%
▽ Tokyo is 14.1%
▽ Saitama is 13.9%
▽ Kyoto 11.2%
▽ Osaka is 10%
.
However, during the year-end and New Year holidays, it is said that people with severe symptoms tend to go to medical institutions while the number of tests is relatively small, so the positive rate may be high.
Number of new positives
In the last week, 25 people per 100,000 population are considered as Stage 4 indicators.
In the week leading up to the 7th of this month, the number has exceeded this
number:
▽
61.87 in Tokyo ▽ 38.28 in
Kanagawa
▽ 29.74 in Osaka
▽ 29.16 in Chiba ▽ 28.64 in
Saitama
▽ 27.68 in Kyoto.
Comparison of new infections in the last week and the previous week
In all three prefectures in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and in Osaka and Kyoto, the number of newly infected people during the week up to the 7th of this month exceeded the previous week and exceeded the indicators for stages 3 and 4.
Percentage of people with unknown infection routes
An average of 50% per week is an indicator for Stages 3 and 4.
On average for the week up to the 1st of this month
, 67% in Tokyo
▽ 64.4% in Hyogo
▽ 58.7% in Kanagawa
▽ 57.4% in Chiba
▽ 56.2% in Osaka.
