The government's "Coronavirus Infection Control Subcommittee" has "medical pressure", "number of medical treatments", and "PCR test" as indicators to determine which of the four stages that indicate the infection status. "Positive rate", "Number of newly infected people", and "Percentage of people whose infection route is unknown" are shown.
Of these, there are three items for "medical pressure": "bed usage rate," "hospitalization rate," and "bed usage rate for the severely ill."

The index "hospitalization rate" is the percentage of all medical care recipients who have been hospitalized.
As the number of patients with the new coronavirus increases, the number of patients who should be hospitalized but cannot be hospitalized and receive medical treatment at home or institution increases. Therefore, the lower the "hospitalization rate", the more patients cannot be accepted. It is increasing, that is, medical care may be tight.
However, the government's "Coronavirus Infectious Disease Control Subcommittee" does not apply in the following cases.
When the number of medical treatment is less than 10 per 100,000 population.
This is the case when the number of new positives who need to be hospitalized has been hospitalized by the day following the notification of the outbreak.
No stage judgment is made for these municipalities.
