The government's "New Coronavirus Infection Control Subcommittee" shows new indicators for determining which of the four stages that indicate the infection status, "the degree of medical pressure", "the number of recuperators", and " We reviewed the positive rate of PCR tests, the number of newly infected people, and the ratio of people whose infection route is unknown.
Of these, there are three items for "medical tightness": "bed usage rate," "hospitalization rate," and "bed usage rate for the severely ill."
According to the summary of the Cabinet Secretariat, in the 10 prefectures where the state of emergency was declared and in Miyagi and Okinawa prefectures to which "priority measures such as prevention of spread" are applied, as of April 20, "medical pressure is tight". Some local governments are in the most serious "Stage 4" in terms of "condition" and "number of medical treatments".

The newly adopted "hospitalization rate" as an index is the ratio of those who have been hospitalized to all the recuperators.
As the number of patients with the new coronavirus increases, the number of patients who should be hospitalized but cannot be hospitalized and receive medical treatment at home or institution increases. Therefore, the lower the number, the more patients cannot be accepted. It is increasing, that is, medical care may be tight.
However, the government's "New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Control Subcommittee" does not apply in the following cases.
◇ When the number of medical treatment is less than 10 per 100,000 population.
◇ The number of new positives who need to be hospitalized can be hospitalized by the day after the notification of the outbreak.
No stage decisions are made for these municipalities.
