The Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which will enter the extension period of the state of emergency from the 13th, intends to maintain the decreasing trend of infection confirmation and to secure beds to further improve the numerical value of the medical system toward the cancellation of the declaration. ..
The fourth state of emergency to Tokyo, issued in July, will be extended from the 13th to the 30th of this month.
When deciding to cancel the declaration, the government is considering the usage rate of beds and the "hospitalization rate" of the percentage of people who can be hospitalized among all medical treatment people, and the city hastened to secure beds. I'm out.
Specifically, we plan to increase the number of beds that have secured 6583 beds, including 503 beds for critically ill patients, to 6651 at the end of this month.
In addition, we will promote the development of temporary medical facilities that carry out "antibody cocktail therapy", which is expected to prevent aggravation, and facilities that accept patients who have recovered from severe illness, and further increase the numerical values of bed usage rate and hospitalization rate. I want to improve it.
This is the third time that this declaration has been extended, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will continue to reduce the number of confirmed infections in order to achieve both infection prevention measures and socio-economic activities, while expanding the medical system and extending the deadline. I would like to lead to a reliable release at the end of this month.
