As for the index showing the level of medical tightness in prefectures regarding the infection status of the new coronavirus, as of 27th of this month, the "use rate of critically ill beds" based on national standards was 53 in Tokyo. In addition to the percentage, the “utilization rate of secured beds” is 88% in Okinawa prefecture, which exceeds the standard of “level to strengthen measures” indicated by the government subcommittee in 20 prefectures.



In addition, the number of new positives has exceeded 1 times in all prefectures except Shimane prefecture, and the spread of infection continues nationwide.

The government's "Coronavirus Infectious Disease Control Subcommittee" has summarized the idea that measures will be taken with an emphasis on the degree of tightness in medical care.



How tight medical care is depends on each prefecture, so the level is decided by each prefecture.



In response to this, the Cabinet Secretariat has shown two indicators for determining the level of prefectures: "load on medical care provision system, etc." and "infection status."



Of these, there are five items in the "load on the medical care provision system, etc.", such as "usage rate of secured beds" and "usage rate of severely secured beds".



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 27th of this month.



Of these, the "utilization rate of secured beds" was calculated based on national standards and was 53% in Tokyo, and the
