Most of the indicators on cancellation indicated by the subcommittee have been cleared. However, on a large scale nationwide. Due to the spread of the infection, the number of severely ill cases is still high, below the peak of the previous epidemic. The burden on general medical care still remains, and it is important to further improve the infection situation. There is a tendency for the number of infected people to stop declining when it falls below 15 per 100,000 people, so I would like to reduce the infection status one step further. "
Regarding future infection control measures, "If the number of newly infected people is still high, it is required to lower it a little more, and the cooperation of the citizens is needed. The infection situation has improved and the release of the state of emergency etc. is news. In this case, the sense of security will spread, activities will become more active, and the number of people and contacts will increase, and the infection will spread. Looking at overseas cases, even if vaccination is progressing, mitigation will progress and behavior will be liberalized. In Japan, I would like to ask you to take basic infection control measures such as wearing a mask, washing your hands, ventilating, and avoiding congestion before going out. "
