Saga Prefecture announced on the 2nd that 773 new people were confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus.
Compared to a week ago, it has apparently decreased to nearly half, but this is due to the change in the time of aggregation for announcements in line with the prefecture's review of the grasp of the total number of new coronavirus infections, and only the announcement on the 2nd. This is because the aggregation time is short.
In addition, three people died, including two infected people in their 70s and 80s with underlying diseases and one infected person in their 90s or older.
On the other hand, the prefecture later withdrew the five people announced as infected from the 26th of last month to the 1st of this month, citing that the report of the outbreak was withdrawn or that it was announced repeatedly.
A total of 142,702 people have been confirmed to be infected in the prefecture so far.
