China News Service reported on July 4th that the recent outbreak of the new crown in Tokyo, Japan's capital, has heated up. On July 3, 124 newly confirmed cases were added, and the number of new cases exceeded 100 for two consecutive days. The number of newly diagnosed cases in the country exceeded 200 again after 2 months.
Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike pointed out on the 3rd, "78% of the newly diagnosed cases are between the ages of 20 and 30. Of the 124 new cases, most are from nightclubs, 50 are from Shinjuku, and the other 7 are in Ikebukuro. , The others happened at the dinner party outside Happy Street."
Both Shinjuku and Ikebukuro are concentrated in nightlife, and Yuriko Koike admits, "In all the infection groups, it takes the most time to break the infection group of the nightclub. This is because these high-privacy nightclubs, the practitioners are tight-lipped." She said "will be used Take measures while giving cooperation.
In order to require enterprises to suspend business, she said, "If the central government issues a declaration of emergency, it is necessary to listen to expert opinions and make judgments." He also said that if the decision was made to suspend business, then "whether to study whether it is the entire Tokyo, or focus on some regions and industries."
Koike said that he will "protect the social economy on the basis of protecting the lives of the people", and once again emphasized the position of advancing both the epidemic prevention measures and the economy. She said that the increase in the number of infected people was due to the fact that the relevant personnel in the downtown area at night were actively tested, which led to the early detection, saying that "the situation is somewhat changed compared to when it was difficult to be tested", and that it is different from the spring surge.
Japan lifted the declaration of emergency on May 25. Although Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed concern about the resurgence of the capital epidemic, he did not think it necessary to tighten measures now. Chief Minister Yoshio Suga said: "Based on the fact that the number of seriously ill patients is decreasing, the current medical resources are sufficient and there is no need to declare a state of emergency. We will continue to cooperate with Tokyo to achieve epidemic prevention and economic activity."
Japanese media believe that the so-called "emergency" measures of the authorities only require operators to suspend their operations on their own. In the last emergency, many nightclubs in Shinjuku were operating as usual to maintain income. The spread of this epidemic in the Shinjuku area cannot be ruled out as the bane planted at that time.
