The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will use three indicators to consider requesting the issuance of a state of emergency when a certain number is reached.
Either the bed usage rate for critically ill patients, which was calculated based on the new criteria based on the characteristics of the Omicron strain, or the percentage of inpatients who require oxygen administration was 30% to 40%, and was newly positive. This is the case when the 7-day average number of people reaches 24,000.
Bed utilization for critically ill patients
Of these, as of the 12th, the number of severely ill patients, which was calculated based on the new criteria based on the characteristics of the Omicron strain, was 183, an increase of 1 from the 11th.
The bed usage rate for critically ill patients increased by 0.2 points from the 11th to 22.8% on the 12th.
The target severely ill patients are those who are using the conventional standard ventilator or ECMO = artificial cardiopulmonary device, as well as those who are undergoing "high flow therapy" that administers a large amount of high-concentration oxygen. It also includes patients who are likely to need these treatments and are in the ICU.
People who need oxygen
In addition, the percentage of inpatients who require oxygen administration will not be announced on the 12th.
As of the 11th, it was 25.0%, and the next announcement is scheduled for the 14th.
7-day average for new positives
The 7-day average number of new positives was 8874.1 on the 12th, a decrease of 234.6 from the 11th.
