In Japan, the number of new coronavirus infections (corona19) is increasing in hundreds of people every day.

According to the NHK report, the number of new corona19 confirmed persons announced on the 5th by each metropolitan organization (the metropolitan prefectural government and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) on the 5th was 356, including 143 in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government as of 10 pm.

It is the third day since the 3rd (353) the number of new corona19 confirmed patients in Japan has exceeded 300.

The number of newly confirmed infections in Tokyo on that day was the highest on the previous day (117).

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced the number of confirmed persons the first day to 118, and corrected it to 117.

As a result, by the day, the cumulative number of confirmed patients in the Tokyo area has risen to 1,33, which has increased to 2.4 times a week.

In addition, a total of 3,854 people (including airport quarantine checkers and charterers returning home) were identified as infected in Japan due to the surge in patients in Tokyo.

The total number of infected people in Japan was 4,566, plus 712 passengers on the cruise cruise ship 'Diamond Princess', where mass infections occurred.

The number of deaths increased from 9 to 7 in Tokyo on that day, with a total of 104 (including 11 cruise ship passengers).

Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to change the treatment system focusing on the severely vulnerable in line with the rapidly increasing number of infected patients, and will discharge hospitalized minors sequentially from the 7th to stay in hotels.

Until now, in Japan, if confirmed, the hospital was discharged only two times in a virus test after being hospitalized in principle regardless of the severity of symptoms according to the infection method.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has provided measures to allow the elderly to care in certain facilities, such as hotels, as the number of patients nationwide increases and the burden of medical institutions increases.

Yuriko Koike, governor of Tokyo, appeared on the NHK 'Sunday Discussion' program on the day and said, "I think the resolution of the country (the central government) is demanding now." I repeatedly urged the proclamation.

Governor Koike said Tokyo is preparing for emergencies based on the law, saying that if an emergency is declared, it can take a step further than the request to refrain from going out.

However, Kato Katsunobu's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Award (Ministry of Health and Welfare) remained cautious, saying, "It is important to respond while minimizing the impact on the daily life of the people and the economy and society."

On this day, a male prison guard in his 40s working in Osaka detention center in Osaka City was judged to be the first corona19 to be trained as a correctional facility in Japan.

The guard had a fever symptom on the last 2 days and was in a self-isolation state after undergoing a PCR (gene amplification) test at a medical institution.

Japanese authorities quarantined the four prisoners in charge of the guard and disinfected the facility along the line.

As a countermeasure against the spread of Corona 19, the city of Nagasaki decided to close the city's exhibition facilities such as the Atomic Bomb Museum and the warship from the 10th to the 28th of this month.

Gunhamdo Island is the site of the Hashima coal mine, a site for the recruitment of Koreans during the Japanese colonial period.

Meanwhile, as local governments asked to refrain from going out on this weekend, the streets of major cities throughout Japan were slack on the holiday.

NHK said that the east square of Shinjuku Station in Tokyo attracted a lot of crowds on a regular weekend, but the day was very quiet.

A 29-year-old woman who lives nearby said, "If you stay at home, your dog's stress builds up and you go out for a walk."
