Expert "It is also important to devise ways to reduce the risk of infection as a whole"
Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, a member of the government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus, said, "The situation is gradually decreasing, but the rate of booster vaccination will reach 60%. I think that the effect of each person's thorough implementation of basic infection control is great. "
On top of that, "In June and July, there will be a situation where the immunity of booster vaccinated people will decline. Also, when it gets hot, the air conditioner will be turned on and the windows will be closed, so ventilation will inevitably worsen. In the meantime, there is a high risk that new mutant viruses will be brought in from overseas and spread, so consider the direction of gradually mitigating while maintaining basic infection control measures and taking actions to reduce the risk. If you have a cooler, you should ventilate regularly, and if you have a drinking party, you should shorten the time and ventilate more carefully than ever before. It is also important to devise ways to lower it. "
