Professor Tateda, Toho University "It is important to maintain the current state"
Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, a member of the government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus, commented on the current infection situation, saying, "The number of infected people per day is in the 300s, and the number is steadily decreasing. In Tokyo, the number of newly infected people continues to be less than 50, and the effects of vaccines and the effects of individual infection control measures are emerging. "
On the other hand, "In Okinawa and Hokkaido, the situation where the decrease has stopped is clearly visible. Now that the infection has been reduced firmly, it is important to continue this state for as long as possible. It is important to maintain the current state so that we can get the vaccine and gain time to proceed with the third vaccination for the elderly. "
In addition, regarding the cancellation of the request to shorten the business hours of restaurants, "It is necessary to gradually return the socio-economics, but it is necessary to do it carefully and step by step. I would like to recommend the use of a store certified by a third party for infection control. Although there will be no request for shortening the time, each person can enjoy a meal with a small group of friends who always meet in about an hour and a half or two hours as much as possible. It is important to start with gradual relaxation. "
