With the new coronavirus infection, the number of clusters etc. confirmed nationwide in the week until the 14th of this month was 1426, a slight decrease from the previous week, but the highest number ever at welfare facilities for the elderly. I understand from the summary of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Every week, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare summarizes cases that local governments have recognized as clusters based on news reports and cases in which two or more people were infected.
According to this, the total number of clusters confirmed nationwide in the week until the 14th of this month was 1426, a decrease of 60 from the previous week, or 4%.
On the other hand, looking at the breakdown,
▽ "welfare facilities for the elderly" increased by 67 cases from the previous week to 736 cases, the highest number by facility and the highest number ever.
This was followed
by 279 medical institutions
, 142 schools and educational facilities,
104 companies, etc.
, 92 child welfare facilities such as daycare centers, and
65 welfare facilities for the disabled. and so on.
