Expert "It is important to take action without hesitation with signs of increased infection"
Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, a member of the government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus, said, "Okinawa Prefecture, where the state of emergency is extended, is steadily declining, although we cannot be alert. On the other hand, Tokyo has a strong tendency to stop declining, and we must consider that there is a high possibility that signs of rebound will become more apparent from next week onwards. "
On top of that, "The declaration has been lifted in Tokyo, some restaurants have begun to serve alcohol, and there is a risk that the Olympic Games will make you feel festive and relaxed. It is thought that the flow of people will increase and the chances of close contact will increase. The influence of the mutant virus "Delta type" confirmed in India, which is pointed out to be highly infectious, overlapped and was seen before in Osaka. The worst scenario is an explosive increase in the number of infected people. "
In addition, Professor Tateda said, "When the average number of infected people per day returns to about 500 per week, the situation will be" Stage 4 ", so we will not delay the declaration of emergency while observing the situation at the medical site. It is important to take the next step without hesitation when there are signs of an explosive increase in infection, and even if the Olympics start, the measures will be delayed. There should be no such thing. "
