Japan again recorded the highest number of corona infections19 nationwide, with more than 800 new cases confirmed for the first time in Tokyo.

The Japanese government has been halting various support measures, including travel, but it will take some time to take effect and the spread is expected to continue for now.

Reports from Tokyo correspondent Lee Kyung-ah.

Tokyo registered 822 new confirmed cases per day.

The highest number of new infections since the coronavirus was recorded on the second day following the day before.

In one day, more than 140 people increased.

Of the confirmed infections, nearly half of those between the ages of 2 and 30 are between the ages of 2 and 30, and about 110 people 65 and older who are prone to deterioration.

Amid the growing number of people infected every day, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has raised warnings about the health care system to the highest of the four tiers.

Prime Minister Suga said on the 25th of last month, when the third epidemic was spreading terribly, that he would detect the spread of the infection through “three weeks of intensive measures.”

However, the results were the opposite.

On the 14th, the Japanese government, with a fire in the instep, announced the suspension of travel assistance.

From this, we decided to stop all projects to support the promotion of consumption for eating out, events and shopping streets.

We are inducing people to refrain from going out, such as shortening train operations during the end of the year and the New Year holidays.

However, experts say that it takes at least 2-3 weeks for these measures to take effect.

As the number of seriously ill patients in Japan continues to be the highest every day, concerns are growing about how much hospitals in different regions can handle.
