The state of emergency has been lifted in one of the three prefectures, but experts say that “the (infectious) rebound will definitely come.” The government has established a new “five pillars” to prevent the spread of the infection, but the key is how much the spread of the infection can be suppressed by implementing comprehensive measures until the summer, when vaccination is in full swing.

“There is a possibility that the infection will spread during April. (Releasing the statement) is in no way a false message that we will return to our normal lives.” On the 18th, the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare, Norihisa Tamura, stabbed with a nail.
During the two-and-a-half-month reporting period, the restaurant industry was singled out as a “hot spot” with a request for reduced working hours as the mainstay, and some effect was achieved. The number of newly infected people in Tokyo per day has dropped by more than 80% since the peak, and the medical system has emerged from the crisis. However, no further effects can be expected, and Satoshi Kamayachi, permanent director of the Japan Medical Association, said: “We will take action at the next stage.”
The government advisory committee, which approved the cancellation of the declaration, decided to lift the declaration by actively conducting epidemiological investigations to reveal “hard-to-see groups” where the source of infection is hidden, PCR testing of mutant strains, and prevention of infections measures in the facilities for the elderly, I made two recommendations. In response, the government settled on “five pillars”, but the advisory committee members said: “There is nothing new, but there are still some that are difficult.”
Professor Kazuhiro Tateda and the University of Toho mentioned the need to introduce a “circuit breaker” that would allow them to take “priority measures such as prevention of spread” in a specific area as soon as they felt a sign of re-spread of the infection. . “Instead of continuing the sloppy statement, release it once and hit (source of infection) under the new definition. Hammer & dance. It’s a picture of repeating prevention and waiting for the vaccine.”
Shunpei Takemori, an economics professor at Keio University, who is a member of the advisory committee, said: “The number of vaccines supplied will increase from June. To avoid the ‘fourth wave’, members are asking citizens to return to the basics of infection prevention measures, such as avoiding “thick three” and wearing masks.
