“Still in the middle of the 6th wave, continue measures even after the release of“ prevention of spread ”” Expert

2022-03-21 20:07:00
Atsuro Hamada, a specially appointed professor at Tokyo Medical University who is familiar with infectious diseases, said about the cancellation of priority measures such as prevention of spread, "The cancellation will increase the number of people who eat and drink outside at night, and at this time of farewell party, welcome party, cherry blossom viewing, etc. There are many opportunities to become dense. It is also expected that the virus will be replaced by the highly infectious virus "BA.2". Therefore, it is expected that the number of infected people will increase to some extent after the release. I want you to be aware that it is still in the middle of the 6th wave, and for a while, do not relax and continue basic infection countermeasures such as avoiding denseness and wearing a mask. Also, at this time of year I would like you to receive additional vaccinations as much as possible. " Regarding the fact that the number of infected people is increasing again overseas, "Especially in Western European countries, the number of booster vaccinations has exceeded 50%, and the number of people dying has decreased, so the regulations have been relaxed. This has increased again. It seems to be one of the causes of this. Japan's booster vaccination has still exceeded 30%, but first of all, it is necessary to proceed with booster vaccination, relax regulations, and move the socio-economic situation. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider the next move, assuming that the situation will be similar to that of Europe after mitigation. "
