Regarding the infection status of the new coronavirus, an index that indicates the level of medical urgency in each prefecture, as of July 31, based on national standards, the "occupation rate of beds secured for severe cases" in Tokyo. In addition to 58% in Kyoto Prefecture and 54% in Kyoto Prefecture, the "occupation rate of secured hospital beds" was 80% in Kanagawa Prefecture. That's it.



In addition, the "number of new positive cases" has exceeded 1 times the previous week in all prefectures except Shimane Prefecture, and the nationwide spread of infections continues.

The government's "New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Control Subcommittee" has summarized the idea of ​​​​taking measures with an emphasis on the degree of medical urgency.



Since the degree of medical care is different in each prefecture, it is said that the level will be determined by each prefecture.



In response to this, the Cabinet Secretariat has indicated two indicators for judging the level of prefectures: ``burden on medical care provision systems'' and ``infection status''.



Of these, the burden on the medical care provision system has five items, including the utilization rate of secured beds and the utilization rate of secured beds for severe cases.

In addition, there are five items in the "infection status", such as "positive rate of PCR test", "number of new positive cases per 100,000 people", and "proportion of people whose infection route is unknown".



The Cabinet Secretariat has released data for all 47 prefectures nationwide as of July 31.
