As of last night (5th), NHK reported that the number of new corona19 confirmed in Japan increased 356.

As a result, a total of 4,566 infected people and 104 deaths were added to the diamond princess.

It is the third day since the last three days that the number of new confirmed persons in Japan exceeded 300 in one day.

Of these, 143 people were confirmed in Tokyo alone, breaking the record the day before, with the largest number of new confirmers per day.

Some say that the spread of infection in Tokyo is similar to the initial form of New York, with more than 120,000 confirmed cases, and some point out that the central government needs to actively respond, such as proclaiming an emergency.
