Regarding the infection status of the new coronavirus, Professor Koji Wada of the International University of Health and Welfare said, "I think that the number of infected people is steadily decreasing due to the state of emergency. However, looking at the situation at the medical site, the number of seriously ill people is decreasing. However, the medical system is still tough, "he said.

On top of that, "It will be a season when there are many farewell parties and welcome parties, but if measures are relaxed, the infection will spread easily. It is not yet known how the mutant virus, which is beginning to be confirmed in Japan, will spread in Japan. However, now that a state of emergency has been declared to prevent the spread of infection in the future, it is important to reduce the number of infected people, and for that purpose, the cooperation of the citizens is necessary. By doing so, we should be able to further reduce the number of infected people. "
