Public health specializes in the spread of infection after the long holidays, such as the highest number of people infected with the new coronavirus in each region, and Professor Koji Wada of the International University of Health and Welfare said, "There are differences depending on the region. However, the infection is spreading nationwide. Especially in areas where the number of infected people is rapidly increasing, such as Hokkaido, Aichi and Fukuoka prefectures, this tendency is expected to continue for a while. The number of infected people in Kansai such as Osaka prefecture Is still high and unpredictable, and the number of people in Tokyo continues to increase, so we need to be vigilant in the future. "

In addition, Professor Wada said, "It is expected that it will be clear from this week whether the number of infected people will start to decrease due to the effect of the state of emergency, but it has been difficult to decrease due to the influence of the mutant virus. I was able to realize the effect by reducing it, but it is difficult to surely reduce it unless the chances of contact such as meals and conversations are considerably reduced due to the influence of the mutant virus. Assuming that a situation that does not exist can occur in any region, it is necessary to abandon the successful experiences so far and consider it as a completely new infection and take thorough measures. "



In addition, regarding the mutant virus that spreads in India, "Because it may be highly infectious and pathogenic, the United Kingdom is calling on the world to be vigilant. Endemic areas, including Japanese returning from India and neighboring countries. It is necessary to properly isolate the people who came in from the virus for 14 days, and if they are not feeling well, they need to take measures to prevent expansion, such as having them see a medical institution as soon as possible by telephone.
