According to Shizuoka prefecture, the woman in her twenties who first had symptoms earlier this month has not been out of the prefecture since the middle of last month when she may have been infected, and it is highly possible that she was infected in Shizuoka prefecture.
The prefecture plans to send samples from all over the prefecture to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases and investigate the spread of the infection, saying that it is not strange that the mutant virus has already spread.
In addition, on the 19th, we issued our own "Infection Spread Emergency Warning", refraining from moving across prefectural borders and going out unnecessarily, and calling for thorough measures such as not having dinner with people other than family members.
