<Anchor> The
corona situation in other countries is very different these days. While the number of confirmed cases is rapidly increasing in Europe, the number of confirmed cases in Japan, which exceeded 20,000 a few months ago, has recently dropped below 200.
It is the lowest level in the world, and what we should be referring to, Cho Dong-chan, a medical reporter, pointed out.
<Reporter> The
corona wind is strong again in Germany, a model country for corona.
As the number of confirmed cases is approaching 30,000 per day, the highest number ever, there are even calls for compulsory vaccination.
[Uly/German citizen: Vaccines should be mandatory immediately. This is not the time to make excuses.] The
situation in major European countries such as the UK and Denmark, which has been conducting With Corona since last summer, is similar.
[Hans Kluge/World Health Organization European Director: All European and Central Asian countries face the risk of coronavirus again.]
Thanks to high vaccination rates, the death toll has fallen to a quarter of the last 3rd pandemic, but the surge in the number of confirmed cases Couldn't get away.
This is a graph of the number of coronavirus cases in Japan.
At the end of last August, the average daily number of confirmed cases per week peaked at 23,000, and then fell sharply, now below 200.
In terms of the number of confirmed cases per million people, Korea is one-sixth that of Germany, and Japan is one-sixth that of Korea, the lowest in the world.
The death toll from coronavirus per million people in Korea is very low in the world, but it is even lower in Japan.
It would be impossible if the number of confirmed cases was reduced by the expedient method of reducing the number of tests.
American and European media are running special articles calling it a Japanese mystery.
Japan's head of quarantine analyzed that the high vaccination rate played a major role, and the natural immunity resulting from the infection of many people was also a factor.
The vaccination completion rate is similar, but since there are far fewer confirmed cases, there is a possibility that we will enter a stable phase after the spread continues.
However, we need to focus more on managing high-risk groups such as those over 65 and obesity and diabetes so that the number of deaths does not increase even if the number of confirmed cases increases.
