Japan ’s surge in more than 60,000 confirmed cases in Osaka Kyoto and other 18 areas

The sixth wave of epidemic caused by Omikon in Japan worsening, yesterday increased more than 60,000 confirmed cases, and then wrote a single day high.To prevent the spread of key areas and tighten epidemic prevention measures, coupled with the previous 16 regions of the Tokyo Capital Circle, Japan has almost entered an anti -epidemic state in the country.

The Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) reported that as of 7:00 last night, at least 62,612 cases were added across Japan, of which 39 people died of illness.The first day of new cases in Japan had exceeded 50,000 on the 22nd on the 22nd.

Japanese media reported that Prime Minister Kishida Wenxiong did not rule out the upgrading of epidemic prevention measures to a declaration of emergency state.

According to relevant Japanese laws, the emergency declaration itself does not restrict residents' goes, and basic living facilities such as supermarkets, banks, hospitals, and other basic living facilities will be operated normally.However, after the declaration of the Declaration, the knowledge of Daofu County across the country can require residents to stop going out in accordance with the local epidemic, or to stop classes in schools, suspend business in leisure and entertainment venues, and forced land and buildings.

Earlier this month, the authorities first announced the start of the three counties of Okinawa, Hiroshima, and Yamaguchi, and later expanded to 16 regions in the Capital Circle of Tokyo.Yesterday, the authorities continued to include 18 areas including Osaka and Kyoto into this measure, expanding the key areas of the epidemic prevention to 70 % in one breath.

Kishida said at the meeting yesterday: "The national epidemic has exceeded 50,000, and it is expanding at unprecedented speeds.The government is preparing to cooperate. "

At present, 34 key areas that prevent the spread of the epidemic are implemented, and most of them are tightening epidemic prevention measures in accordance with the basic principles released by the central government.For example, restricting the business of the catering industry for a long time and demanded a dignitarian downturn five people.

It is reported that due to the deterioration of the epidemic in various regions, the hospitals are overcrowded, and the local governments can take more stringent epidemic prevention measures according to the laws formulated by the initial stage of crown disease.

The rapid spread of Omikon has pose a threat to Japanese local medical systems.There are currently hundreds of confirmed cases in Yamani Prefecture, but the use rate of beds is nearly 70%, which is the highest in the country.Yamanaki Chiefsaki Sakama is to suppress the spread of the epidemic. Recently, those who do not complete the two -dose vaccine have not been completed a few days ago.

The tight local medical treatment of Japan has also forced the authorities to temporarily change the inspection policy.It is reported that the original authorities stipulated that those who had close contact with the diagnostic persons were tested by the hospital, and the doctor judged whether to diagnose the diagnosis.Later, it was discovered that Omikon's family infection was significant, so the authorities canceled the approach yesterday that if someone was infected in the family, there was no need to see a doctor.

Scientists are concerned about the recent discovery of the Omikon subtypes BA.2

The Institute of National Infectious Causes of Japan analyzed that Omikdon and the earliestCompared with the coronary virus, the ratio of severe patients is one -eighth.

Scientists are currently paying close attention to the recently discovered Omikon subtype BA.2 to determine how it affects the spread.Sato, an associate professor of the University of Tokyo, who is studying this virus, believes that the subtype of the subtype of the subtype has more mutations, so it may be stronger.

As of January 19th, after a genome sequence analysis, the Japanese quarantine department entered the airport's 1826 cases, and 198 belonged to the sub -type mutant strains.Although the subtype of the subtype has not been classified as "the strain that must be concerned", he expected that the strain would replace Omikon and become the leading strain that triggered the seventh wave of epidemics.

According to reports, the hiddenness of BA.2 is quite strong and difficult to detect, so some researchers call it "invisible version of Omircor's strain".
