<Anchor> Although

there is very little traffic, the spread of Corona 19 in Japan, not far from us, is not too serious. Yesterday (16th), nearly 300 confirmed people came out of Tokyo in one day, and over 600 in Japan.

Correspondent Yoo Sung-jae reports from Tokyo.

Yesterday, more than 600 new corona confirmed people from all over Japan.

More than 600 confirmed people are almost 100 days since 720 people on April 11th.

In particular, Tokyo has the highest number of 286 people per day.

The infection that began to spread around the big city entertainment districts spread rapidly to the workplace and home.

In addition, in Okinawa, where 138 US soldiers have been confirmed to be infected on Sunday, the Japanese taxi driver who came to the base has been confirmed, and fear of spreading outside the base has become a reality.

Japan's new daily confirmer curve is approaching the situation just before the emergency declaration three months ago.

There is also an analysis that the trend of increase in the number of confirmed persons is'second wave', that is, replay.

[Omagari/International Director of Infectious Diseases Center: It may be known only after a while, but it is certain that (second wave) approached quite well.] As the

quarantine situation became serious, the Abe government began to come home from the 22nd to revitalize the regional economy. The decision to subsidize travel expenses was also on the cutting board, but the Japanese government has stepped back to exclude Tokyo from travel subsidies.

However, the voice of criticism is growing that passive anti-countermeasure measures cannot prevent corona replay.
