According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, as of the 4th of this month, a total of 104 nursery schools and children's centers in 29 prefectures were completely closed due to the infection of children and staff with the new corona.



The number has increased by 3 from the previous week, exceeding 100 for the second consecutive week.



This is less than the ``6th wave'' period, when more than 700 schools were closed in February, but the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is not closing all the classes, but only some classes. It is said that the background is that flexible responses to continue childcare are spreading.
