Professor Tateda, Toho University: "The decline has stopped, and it has become clear"

Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University and a member of the government subcommittee on measures against the new coronavirus analyzes the current infection situation, saying, "It seems that the situation has become clear that the decline has stopped rather than 'showing signs of increase.'"

"According to the latest data from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, about 30% of all people are reported to be infected with the Omicron variant of the XBB strain, which is highly contagious and easy to escape immunity. There is a growing risk that the number of infected people will rise again."

"Many people are cured of cold-like symptoms even if they are infected with coronavirus, so the number of people who do not get tested is increasing, making it difficult to accurately grasp the number of infected people. If you think you have a cold, such as a sore throat, please be aware of the possibility of corona infection, recuperate without overdoing it when you feel unwell, refrain from visiting the elderly, who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill, actively wear a mask, and be careful not to spread the infection."
