Last month in Tokyo, the number of elderly people aged 65 and over who were confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus increased 2.5 times from the previous month, and nearly 90% of those whose infection route is known are in the facility and at home. The summary of the city revealed that it was an infection within the city.
Of the 39,664 people confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus in Tokyo last month, 6,477 were 65 years or older.
This is a 2.5-fold increase from 2569 in the previous month.
The percentage of elderly people aged 65 and over who were confirmed to be infected was 16.3% last month, up 3 points from the previous month.
Depending on the city, the cause is that there are many "in-facility infections" and "domestic infections" at medical institutions and facilities for the elderly who are hospitalized or admitted.
Of the 3496 elderly people aged 65 and over whose infection route is known,
▽ "institutional infection" was 47.2%, 1649, and
▽ "domestic infection" was 39.8%, 1392, which is
close to 90%. Is to occupy.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is actively inspecting facilities to curb the spread of infection, and is calling on the elderly and their families to take thorough measures.
