While the number of people infected with the new coronavirus per day is decreasing, the number of people in each region is increasing after the long holiday, and the government is gradually restarting its socio-economic activities. It is a difficult issue whether we try to achieve both.
The number of people infected with the new coronavirus per day has been around 100, which is about one-seventh of the peak time since the end of the large holiday, and the number of infected people in Tokyo is 36 on the 9th. And, the number of infected people has continued to decrease, falling below 40 for four consecutive days.
On the other hand, the number of people in each region has increased compared to during the long holidays, and in the two days up to the 9th, there was a point where the decrease rate was around 50% even before the spread of infection even in 13 specified caution prefectures. .
Regarding this, Minister of Economic Rehabilitation Nishimura said, "In 34 prefectures other than specified caution prefectures, socio-economic activities are being stepped up. In response to such reports, the looseness of" Isn't it okay? " I am worried that it is coming out. "

In the region where no new infected person has been confirmed for a certain period, the deadline for the end of this month was awaited. not, we have to consider the release of the declaration to the prospect this week 14 days.

There is a possibility of expansion, and how to achieve both is a difficult issue.
