Expert “It is important how long this state can be maintained”
Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, a member of the government's subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus, said about the current infection situation, "The number of infected people is declining, but the decline is beginning to stop. However, there is no tightness in the medical field, and there are quite a few seriously ill patients, so it is important how long this condition can be maintained. "

Summer vacation from July to August. People's movements become more active in Yaobon, and the effect of the third inoculation also weakens. I think we must think that these factors combine to increase the risk of the next wave being created. It is important for people from overseas to understand and follow the Japanese way while maintaining the measures taken so far, such as wearing, regular ventilation, small number of people when eating and drinking, and doing it in a short time.
