As of July 13, the average number of infections in Tokyo reached 10,110, an increase of 2.3 times from a week ago. After evaluating the infection of Tokyo, experts stated that the spread of the new crown virus is rapidly accelerating. "Explosive infection will occur and have never experienced it."
Tokyo experts raised the alert level of infection to level 4, the highest level. Some people point out that one of the causes of rapid spread is the accelerated spread of the new subtype BA.5 of the Omikon strain.
In the past two weeks, the Japanese epidemic rebounded. According to the Kyodo News Agency, 94,493 newly confirmed cases were added on July 13. This is the first time after February 17 this year, the number of confirmed cases has exceeded 90,000, which is approaching the highest record of about 104,000 examples. On the 13th, there were 16,878 cases in Tokyo, with more than 1,000 cases for two consecutive days.
Experts said: "If this growth rate is continued, more than 23,000 people will be added in one week within a week, and 50,000 will be reached within two weeks."
Vice President of the Tokyo Medical Association pointed out that it is expected that due to the spread of the epidemic, many people's work will be affected, and the medical care system may also be impacted.
In addition, experts stated that they would take prevention and control measures as much as possible to promote multiple vaccinations for young people and elderly people.
