Professor Tateda, Toho University "The number of infected people will continue for a while, exceeding the current situation."

Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, a member of the government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus, said about the current infection situation, "It may seem that the rate of increase has slowed a little compared to last week and this week. No, but the number of infected people has reached a record high, and we must assume that the number of infected people will continue to exceed the current level for a while. "

Regarding the situation in each region, "Tokyo has more than 8,600 people per day, and we are in a state where we must be very careful. Since the same tendency is seen in all of the metropolitan area's 1 metropolitan area and 3 prefectures, here It is important to keep it down firmly. Okinawa Prefecture has a very large number of infected people, and it can never be relieved in a state where it remains high. There is a possibility that the inspection is not sufficiently performed or the report is delayed. , We need to be careful in the future. "

Regarding measures against Omicron strains, "It is becoming apparent that few people become seriously ill with Omicron strains, but if the number of infected people increases explosively, a certain percentage of seriously ill people will appear. Since it has become clear that the infection has occurred in places where people talk for a long time after removing the mask and make a loud voice, measures focusing on limiting the number of people in places where close contact occurs. If you enjoy eating and drinking, it is important to have a small number of people with your family and usual friends, and to have a short time in a well-ventilated store that has been certified by a third party. I'm talking.
