The government's "Coronavirus Infection Control Subcommittee" has "the degree of medical tightness," "the number of medical treatments," and "PCR testing" as indicators for determining which of the four stages that indicate the infection status. It shows five factors: positive rate, number of newly infected people, and percentage of people whose infection route is unknown.
Of these, there are three items for "medical pressure": "bed usage rate," "hospitalization rate," and "bed usage rate for critically ill patients."
November in 13 prefectures of Hokkaido, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Gifu, Aichi, Mie, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Fukuoka, and Okinawa announced by the Cabinet Office. As of the 11th, it is below "Stage 3" in many areas.

Medical pressure hospitalization rate
The standard hospitalization rate is 40% or less for stage 3 and 25% or less for stage 4.
The hospitalization rate is not applicable to all 13 prefectures announced by the Cabinet Secretariat.
[About "Not applicable"] The
index "hospitalization rate" is the ratio of those who have been hospitalized to all medical treatment.
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. In other words, medical care may be tight.
However, the government's "New 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.
▽ When the number of new positives who need to be hospitalized can be hospitalized by the day after the notification of the outbreak.
No stage judgment is made for these municipalities.
