total of 8 days, during which 252 infected people were counted. It means that the number of infected people was less than it actually was.



Since the Osaka City Public Health Center did not partially input to the system that aggregates the information of infected people, the total number of infected people in Osaka Prefecture as of 13th is 62,046.



Regarding this, Osaka Prefecture says, "The number of infected people is increasing rapidly and the work of the health center is tight. The check was neglected because the patient's response was prioritized over the input to the system."
