During the Olympic Games, which ended on the 8th, the infection of the new coronavirus spread rapidly in the host city of Tokyo, and the challenge is to control the infection while the Paralympic Games are about to open half a month later.
The Tokyo Olympics, which started on the 23rd of last month and ended on the 8th of this month, became an unusual tournament, with venues in Tokyo and other prefectures becoming unattended amid a state of emergency due to the spread of infection.
During the tournament, the infection spread rapidly in the host city of Tokyo at an unprecedented speed, and the number of confirmed infections per day exceeded 4,000 for five consecutive days until the 8th.
In addition, the 7-day average was 2.9 times that of the 23rd of last month, which started on the 8th of the closing.
In addition, the number of inpatients reached a record high on the 7th and 8th for the second consecutive day, and the number of home care patients is increasing rapidly, and experts in the city point out that the medical care provision system is tight. ..
While there is a view that the holding of the tournament triggered the number of people, Governor Koike said, "Many people watched the game on TV, which led to a stay home." The holding itself led to an increase in the number of people and the spread of infection. It shows the recognition that it is not.
It is said that it will take about two weeks for the measures to take effect, and half a month later, on the 24th of this month, the Paralympic Games are about to begin, and the challenge is to control the infection.
