Regarding the infection status of the new coronavirus, an index that indicates the level of medical urgency in each prefecture shows that as of the 14th of this month, the ``occupation rate of hospital beds for severely ill patients'' based on national standards was 67 in Tokyo. In addition, the ``use rate of secured beds'' was 94% in Kanagawa Prefecture, and a total of 39 prefectures exceeded the ``level at which measures should be strengthened'' indicated by the government's subcommittee.



In addition, the "number of new positive cases" compared to last week has exceeded 1 times in the majority of the 47 prefectures, indicating that the nationwide spread of infection 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, etc.'' and ``infection status.''



Of these, "burden on the medical care provision system, etc." includes five items such as "occupation rate of secured beds" and "occupation 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 announced data for all 47 prefectures nationwide as of the 14th of this month.
