Tokyo, the metropolitan city of Japan

The number of corona infected people has increased dramatically in Tokyo!

What was "Tokyo Alert"? On the 14th in Tokyo, 47 people were infected with the new coronavirus. Many people in the "night town", especially those involved in the host club, are infected, but there is a concern that the infection will spread from the employees' offices and even the rich contacts of female customers. Although the request for leave of absence has been eased and the election of the governor of Tokyo is announced on the 18th, it is necessary to be cautious of the risk of re-infection in Tokyo.

The number of infected people in Tokyo exceeded 40 people for the first time in 40 days since May 5 (57 people) under the declaration of emergency. The infected people on the 14th, 18 were employees of a host club in the Shinjuku area such as Kabukicho where the infected people had already appeared. Of the remaining 29, 14 were also associated with the downtown area at night. Five people were said to have been patients and staff at Musashino Central Hospital (Koganei City) suspected of nosocomial infection.

Governor Yuriko Koike told the news media in the afternoon of the same day, "This time the number of infected people was the result of having all the shops where the infected people were examined and inviting asymptomatic people to actively inspect." He explained that there was a difference in the process of understanding the infected person from the past.

In the Shinjuku Ward area, similar group tests were conducted at three stores, but the view is that the situation is not widespread in the city. On the other hand, the inspection of users is not progressing, and there is a possibility that the infection is secretly spreading. Regarding the increase in the number of infected people in Tokyo, Hideomi Nakahara, Ph.D., a principal at Seibu Gakuen College of Medical Technology, said, “We are trying to explain the difference in the number of tests in Tokyo, but the number has simply doubled. Even after the declaration of the emergency, the number of infected people is higher than in other prefectures, and there may be a failure in some measure in Tokyo, which has clustered two clusters."
