The number of people infected with the new corona in Tokyo has increased for six consecutive weeks, 1.19 times that of the previous week, and experts are calling for "more opportunities to meet the elderly on summer vacation trips and homecomings, so please keep infection control measures in mind."
On the 3rd, an infectious disease control meeting was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, during which the number of people infected with the new corona in Tokyo was announced.
According to the report, 419 of the 415 medical institutions in Tokyo that are subject to fixed-point grasp have reported the total number of infected people in the week up to the 30th of last month, which is 1.4613 per medical institution.
This was 1.11 times higher than the previous week, an increase for six consecutive weeks, of which 12.1 were for those aged 19 and over, which was 6.60 times the previous week.
Dr. Mitsuo Kaku, director of the Tokyo Center for Infectious Disease Control, said, "I would like you to take measures against infection because there will be more opportunities to meet elderly people who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill during summer vacation trips and homecomings, and there will be more occasions when you gather in large groups."
In addition, at the meeting, the risk of food poisoning increases during this time of year when the temperature rises, so it was recommended to wash hands before cooking, prepare special chopsticks and tongs for cooking meat so that it does not touch other ingredients, and cook food sufficiently and eat it as soon as possible.
