Yesterday (29th), the number of corona per day confirmed in Japan surpassed 1,200 for the first time in history.

Tokyo was 250, with three digits confirmed every day for three weeks, the second city of Osaka was 221, and Aichi Prefecture with Nagoya was 167, the highest ever.

Japan's number of confirmed people per day, which had increased to 700 people in April, had once decreased to less than 50 people since the first emergency was announced, but it exploded again in July, eventually surpassing 1,000 people a day.

A serious replay has proved to be a shame, but the Japanese government has been reluctant to repeat the emergency, repeating the rut.

The Japanese government plans to have each local government decide on a step-by-step countermeasure according to the infection situation, and some complain that the central government is shifting the responsibility of spreading corona to the region.
