Tottori Prefecture held a meeting of the Coronavirus Countermeasures Headquarters and announced that a cluster had occurred in a certified child institution in Yonago City, and that 84 people including children and staff were infected.
Including this time, the number of infected people was the highest among the 81 clusters that have occurred in the prefecture so far.
Nearly 300 children and staff attended the children's institution, and the children sometimes took off their masks during activities such as gathering every grade.
Of the 53 clusters that occurred in Tottori prefecture this year, 24 clusters were in schools and nursery schools, accounting for 45% of the total, and the prefecture refrains from going to the kindergarten when children are not feeling well. Or, if the situation is different from usual, we are calling for an early consultation.
Governor Hirai said, "The rate of infection among children under the age of teenagers is increasing more rapidly than before. We will do our utmost to put a brake on the current rapid expansion and work to survive the Omicron strain." I was talking.
