Expert "Maintaining a declining trend"

Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, a member of the government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus, said that the number of infected people is declining. I think it was a big factor that we were able to take natural infection control measures. I was worried that if the emergency declaration was lifted, we would soon rebound, but the number is decreasing at the national level. In Tokyo, the number of infected people per day is less than 200. It is in a very good condition and continues to decrease, so it is important to maintain it. " ..



On top of that, Professor Tateda said, "For example, when the number of infected people per day in Tokyo drops to about 100, the health center will be able to identify the place where the infection remains, and will actively test for vaccination. It will be possible to take measures to proceed. In order not to make the next "6th wave" and to overcome it by making it as small as possible, the actions of this time will be important. " ..
