A new analysis of coronavirus infection (Corona19) was not revealed due to lack of tests, and experts analyzed that there will be 10 times the number of infected persons in Japan.

According to the Nihon Keizai Newspaper on the 26th, Professor Hiroshi Nishiura of Hokkaido University (theoretical mechanics) participating in the Corona 19 Cluster (Infectious Community) countermeasures group of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare was in a state of spread of Corona 19 in Japan. Regarding this, he said, "The number of infected people currently identified is the tip of the iceberg."

He analyzed the situation by the metropolitan prefectures (Capital and Metropolitan Governments) and said that the number of confirmed cases in some regions tended to remain largely unchanged. "The actual number of infected people exceeds the upper limit that can be examined per day." I pointed out.

Prof. Nishiura emphasized that there are some people who have not been tested due to mild symptoms, and that it is necessary to expand the test posture to check the actual status of the infection.

Prime Minister Abe said he would expand his ability to test gene amplification (PCR) to 20,000 cases a day, but his average gene amplification (PCR) test performance on the 1st to 23rd of this month is only about 6,800.

Earlier, Yasuharu Tokuda, head of the Okinawa Clinical Research Center (Clinical Epidemiology) of Yasharu Tokuda, said in an interview with the Mainichi Shimbun, reported on the 23rd, about the spread of Corona 19 in Japan. "There is a possibility that there are 12 times the number of infected people."
