While the rate of decrease in confirmation of infection with the new coronavirus is slowing down in Tokyo, experts in Tokyo say that the infection may increase again, and further measures such as refraining from going out unnecessarily. I made an urgent proposal that thoroughness is necessary.
In Tokyo, the standard is to keep the average infection confirmation for 7 days to 70% or less of the previous week, but the rate of decrease tends to slow down, such as exceeding the standard for 5 consecutive days until the 22nd. ..
In response to this situation, Professor Mitsuo Kaku of Tohoku Medical and Pharmaceutical University, who chairs the "Expert Board" in Tokyo, made an urgent proposal.
The recommendations point out that the 7-day average as of 21st was 341.6, more than double the maximum during the state of emergency last year.
On top of that, he is strongly concerned that if the number of confirmed infections does not decrease sufficiently, it may increase again.
He also points out that the mutant virus may spread the infection rapidly, and that there are concerns about the risk of neglecting countermeasures in anticipation of the effectiveness of the vaccine.
He also said that it is necessary to take basic measures to prevent infection, such as washing hands, ventilating, and not talking to people without a mask, and then refraining from going out unnecessarily.
