In Okinawa prefecture as well. The number of infected people is equivalent to stage 4, and we cannot be optimistic yet. "

It is becoming apparent that there is no such situation. Since the number of infected people may start to increase as soon as it is released too early due to the influence of the mutant virus, it was decided to extend it in the future in metropolitan areas. It is necessary to pay close attention to whether the number of infected people will decrease at the same pace. If there is a risk that it will increase, we must consider taking stronger measures promptly. " I'm talking.
