According to a summary by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, as of the 11th of this month, 138 nursery schools and children's centers were completely closed due to the infection of children and staff with the new coronavirus.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, as of the 11th of this month, there were a total of 138 nursery schools and children's centers in 37 prefectures where children and staff were infected with the new corona and were completely closed.



The number of locations has increased by 34 from the previous week, and has exceeded 100 locations for three consecutive weeks.



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