The situation in Europe is also serious.
It has been reported that in Italy recently, health officials are unable to track closely contacted persons due to a shortage of medical staff and a rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases.
The virus is out of control as a bunch of confirmed cases with no source of infection have been identified.
The number of confirmed cases in Italy per day reached a record high of 10,000 as of 15 days.
In Germany, 6,638 were confirmed on the 14th, and the number of new confirmed cases is hitting a daily high, and the number of new confirmed cases in the Netherlands also reached 8,114, the highest number since the corona 19 pandemic began in March.
