In Tochigi prefecture, it was announced on the 8th that a total of 876 people were confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus.
On the other hand, the prefecture withdrew a total of 77 people announced from the 27th of last month to the 6th of this month because of administrative mistakes that overlapped with the announcements of infected people in the past.
According to the prefecture, the number of newly infected persons was announced based on either the outbreak report issued by the medical institution or the summary table issued by the local government, but the duplication included both of them as the target of aggregation. It is said that it happened.
In order to prevent duplication, the prefecture has revised it so that it will be counted based only on the outbreak report from the 8th.
In addition, Utsunomiya City also withdrew it because there was a duplication of 13 people announced from the 18th of last month to the 5th of this month.
Including this withdrawal, a total of 30,739 people have been confirmed infected in the prefecture.
