According to the Tokyo Fire Department, 84 men and women aged 9 to 98 in Tokyo were suspected of having heat stroke and were taken to the hospital by 3 pm in Tokyo.
About 60% of those are in their 70s and over, and 7 men and women in their 60s to 80s have severe symptoms and are at risk of life.
In addition, according to the Tokyo Metropolitan Infirmary, it was found that five people in Tokyo had died of heatstroke from 10th to 11th of this month. This month, 12 people have died of heat stroke in Tokyo.
