As the number of people infected with the new coronavirus has begun to increase again, the government's new coronavirus subcommittee will provide additional vaccinations to prevent the rapid spread of infection and continue socio-economic activities. I issued an urgent message asking me to take measures against infection such as wearing a mask.

In the urgent message, while economic activities are resumed overseas and basic measures such as wearing masks are eased, the infection is re-spreading and the number of inpatients is increasing, and the emphasis is on preventing the spread in Japan as well. He noted that nighttime populations increased after the measures were lifted and that there were signs of re-emergence of the infection in some areas.



And if the infection spreads to the elderly in the future, if they are not vaccinated or boosted, they may become seriously ill or die, so they will prevent the rapid spread of the infection and continue their socio-economic activities. Therefore, I called again to take measures against infection.



Specifically,


▽ Vaccination should be done early when the time comes, regardless of the type, because not only elderly people who tend to become severely ill but also younger generations have sequelae after infection.


▽ With children and elderly people People who have a lot of contact with them are especially vaccinated, and if they have any suspicious symptoms, they are encouraged to have an early examination and wait at home.



In addition,


▽ Thorough basic measures such as wearing masks and ventilation, especially at drinking parties and dinner parties, avoid large numbers of people, loud voices, long hours, and denseness, and call for inspection if you feel sick regardless of age. I did.



Furthermore, for medical institutions and local governments,


▽ if a person suspected of being infected at a facility for the elderly appears, medical intervention will be provided at an early stage, and


▽ generous support will be provided to take measures against infection at the facility on a regular basis. I asked.
