In addition, there are five items in "Infection status" such as "Positive rate of PCR test", "Number of new positives" per 100,000 people, and "Ratio of people whose infection route is unknown".
The Cabinet Secretariat has released data for all 47 prefectures nationwide as of the 13th of this month.
Of these, the "utilization rate of secured beds" was 61% in Okinawa prefecture, 54% in Wakayama prefecture, and 50% in Kumamoto prefecture. "= It exceeds the standard of 50% or more.
