The government has decided to dispatch a team to coordinate contact with the prefecture from next week to Okinawa Prefecture, which has the highest bed usage rate in Japan due to the rapid spread of the new corona infection.

This is the fourth time the team has been dispatched to Okinawa Prefecture.

In Okinawa Prefecture, the number of people infected with the new corona was confirmed to be 5,250 on the 21st, the highest number ever, and the infection has spread rapidly, and the bed usage rate is also the highest in the whole country.



In light of these circumstances, the government has decided to dispatch a "liaison team" to Okinawa Prefecture from next week to coordinate liaison with the prefecture.



The team consists of three people, including a cabinet deputy director, who coordinates the dispatch of support for nurses and others.



This is the fourth time that the "liaison team" has been dispatched to Okinawa Prefecture.
