Expert "With the feeling that the whole area will work together to prevent expansion"
Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, who is the chairman of the Japan Society for Infectious Diseases, commented on the status of infection in the Kansai region. It should be considered that the infection has spread from Osaka prefecture to the surrounding area. If the area is not united to prevent the spread, including the areas that are not subject to the priority measures, there is a risk that the infection will spread further. On the other hand, Miyagi Prefecture has calmed down, but we cannot be alert yet, and we need to carefully assess the situation for a while. "
Regarding the Tokyo metropolitan area, "Okinawa prefecture has been increasing the number of infected people for more than a month, and Tokyo has been increasing the number of infected people for nearly a month. In particular, Tokyo may expand at once like the Kansai area, so depending on the future situation, it may be necessary to take measures in combination with the surrounding three prefectures such as Kanagawa prefecture. " did.
On top of that, Professor Tateda said, "I am very worried that the number of infected people is increasing again in Aichi Prefecture. If the infection continues to spread in these areas where large cities such as the Kansai area, the Chubu area, and the Tokyo metropolitan area are concentrated, eventually It will spread to the surrounding areas. Until vaccination of the elderly progresses, it is important to decide measures at an early stage so that the wave of infection does not become as large as possible and to gain time to survive. " I'm talking.
