In Kanagawa Prefecture, it was announced on the 18th that it was confirmed that 5088 new people were infected with the new coronavirus.
Compared to the previous Friday, there are about 500 fewer people.
In addition, on the 18th, 14 men and women in their 50s to 100s were announced dead in the prefecture.
On the other hand, Sagamihara City has announced that the two people who had previously announced that the infection had been confirmed were excluded from the infected, saying that they had overlapped.
According to NHK's summary, the number of infected people announced in Kanagawa Prefecture is now 533,304, of which 1944 have died.
Priority measures such as spread prevention applied to the prefecture will be lifted by the deadline of 21st of this month, but the prefecture still has a large number of infected people, and basic infection control measures will continue. I am calling for thorough implementation.
The number of infected people does not include those who are undergoing voluntary medical treatment that does not fall under the Infectious Diseases Control Law.
