It is an atmosphere where corona spreads again not only in us, but also in other parts of the world.
The increase in movement is analyzed for a large reason.
In the meantime, Pfizer has revealed that the vaccine will remain effective for at least six months in a new phase 3 trial.

65,000 new corona19 confirmed cases in the United States in the last week as compiled by CNN.
It was up 22% from a week ago.
The number of new confirmed cases, which showed a decline, has turned to an increase.
The movement increase is analyzed as the main reason.
Last month, the number of air travelers in the U.S. was 38 million, the highest in a month since March last year.
France also decided to block the nation again for a month starting on the 3rd as Corona 19 showed a re-proliferation trend.
[Macron/President of France: We are currently taking reinforced measures in 19 regions.
This measure will be expanded across the country from Saturday and will be implemented for four weeks.] With a
large crowd gathering in metropolitan cities such as Paris and Lyon in spring, the number of new confirmed cases per day in France still exceeds 40,000.
Due to the enforcement of the blockade, stores except for government-designated businesses such as hospitals and grocery stores are suspended, and schools are closed for three weeks.
Germany and Italy are also tense about the re-proliferation of Corona 19.
Meanwhile, Pfizer has announced the results of a new phase 3 trial of its COVID-19 vaccine.
After the second vaccination, the vaccine lasted for at least 6 months and was 100% effective against the South African mutant virus, Pfizer said.
Pfizer is reportedly planning to request formal approval of the vaccine as early as this month.
