Well, I will summarize
the breakdown of the number of new infections in Tokyo + α …!
＜Changes in the number of infected people in Tokyo＞
(*The number below the number of infected people is a comparison of increases and decreases from the previous week)

(Deaths due to COVID-19 in Tokyo)

* The following are also no longer published due to the “Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance”.
・Number of close contacts
・Number of people with unknown infection route
・Number of people with travel history from overseas
・Number of specimens brought to Tokyo for testing
・Vaccination status of infected people ・Vaccination rate
・Announcement of the number of “special suspected disease patients”
(* “Special suspected disease patients” = Patients with close contact who have symptoms and who have been diagnosed with infection without testing at the discretion of a doctor)
→(* “Number of people recuperating at home,” “Adjusting hospitalization/accommodation, etc.,” and “Number of people who have completed medical treatment” are no longer announced due to Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance…)
→(* Due to the Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance, the increase and decrease in the number of infected people in Tokyo and the total number of people under treatment for infection are unknown…)
*(Increase/decrease in the number of infected people)
= (Number of newly infected people) – (Number of people who have completed medical treatment) – (Number of deaths)
* (Total number of people under treatment for infection)
= (Total number of infected people) – (Total number of people who have completed medical treatment) – (Total number of deaths)
Due to the Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance, the number of medical patients is no longer counted, making it impossible to calculate.
→ Due to “Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance”, “Total number of infected patients = condition of spread” is completely unknown…
(As of Dec 01 , 2022)
* There are currently “30” accommodation facilities for COVID-19 prepared by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government
(Capacity for a total of 8,134 beds)
(*Since space for staff and storage space for materials are also required, the number that can be accommodated is smaller than the number secured)
* Hospitals in Tokyo have secured 5,084 beds for COVID-19 patients.
(4,825 for mild cases + 259 for severe cases)
(*The information as of December 1st is the latest /2023.02.10)

*Since the number of new infections in Tokyo seems to be almost the number of the previous day,
(Because the deadline for the number of new infections on the day is from 9:00 am the day before to 9:00 am on the day)
* In addition, the number of infected people in each prefecture at the present time (19:00) seems to be like this! ↓
(*Since “Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance” (September 26th), the figures announced by each prefecture have changed to those announced by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare)
(*The number of infected people in airport quarantine is now added to the figures for the prefecture where the airport is located)

*In addition, it is completely unknown how many people are actually undergoing COVID-19 treatment nationwide, as the number of discharged patients is no longer announced due to Limitation of targets for notifiable disease surveillance.

<Summary of today’s “Major News Related to COVID-19 in Japan”>
Well, We’re very curious about the infection situation after the end of Golden Week, but tomorrow, May 8th, COVID-19 will be changed to type 5, so today is almost the last time we will announce the daily number of new infections!
(*Basically, each figure announced on the day is the figure from the previous day, so Numbers for May 7th may be the last to be announced tomorrow)
*The Japanese government has decided to leave it up to individuals to decide whether or not to wear a mask after March 13th.
*On May 8, the Japanese government will change the handling of COVID-19 under the Infectious Diseases Law from “category 2 = dangerous disease” to “category 5 = common cold”.
Various local governments and great people are disseminating information about what will happen after the change to 5 types.
For example, Osaka looks like this ↓
Governor Yoshimura of Osaka Prefecture
“COVID-19 is not the same as the flu”
“The power to spread infection is still much stronger than influenza”
“Since it is not seasonal, it is difficult to know when the infection will occur”
“As a government, we will focus on protecting high-risk people after changing to Class 5”
In addition, since each municipality has different information dissemination methods and countermeasures after the 5th class change, each municipality has announced it on its web page.
Ex) Tottori Prefecture
Since the information is getting a little jumbled like this, and the world after changing the 5th class will start tomorrow, so I would like to briefly summarize “What will change when changing to the 5th class” again!
About the number of new infected people
As you all know, there will be no more daily announcements of new infections.
After that, it seems that it will be announced once a week, every Friday, but compared to the past, it will be a less informative method.
Why is that…
↑ In this way, instead of counting all infection reports nationwide, after that, the number of infected people will be aggregated from only 5,000 medical institutions out of about 120,000 medical institutions nationwide.
(*全国の医療機関数PDF)
*For the first time, on May 19th, the number of infected people from May 8th to May 14th will be announced.
That’s right, we won’t know the infection status after the end of Golden Week until two weeks later, and we can only know the reports from a small number of medical institutions.
About the number of severe cases, deaths, and hospitalizations
The release of the death toll will end completely on May 9th.
After that, along with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s “Vital Statistics,”
the total number of deaths will be finalized in two months, and
the detailed cause of death will be available in five months.
Therefore, we may not know how many people died from the infection during Golden Week until around October.
In addition, only the number of severely ill patients and the number of hospitalized patients will be collected from all medical institutions and will continue to be published once a week!
(*In case of emergency, it would be a problem if the medical system was tight, so they will continue to do so to understand the situation.)
About the number of medical institutions that can be examined
Currently (before the change to Category 5):
Approximately 42,000 medical institutions nationwideCurrently
After that (after changing 5 types):
Approximately 64,000 medical institutions nationwide
↑Yeah, not much different from before (dry laugh)
The disease that chooses a medical institution seems to be a “common cold”…
In principle, medical expenses are to be borne by the patient, but…
When hospitalized: High medical expense subsidy system is applied + 20,000 yen reduction
Outpatient: High medical expense subsidy system is applied to expensive medicines
In addition, about 8,200 hospitals, which are all hospitals in Japan, will accept inpatients.
In addition, it seems that COVID-19 patients will be hospitalized not by ward (building), but by preparing a dedicated hospital room for each ward.
Method for confirming the presence of new variant
They plan to continue genome analysis, which is the genetic analysis of viruses, while reducing the scale to about a quarter of what it used to be.
(*In the future, 100 cases per week will be analyzed by prefectures, and 200 cases per week will be analyzed by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases.)
About refraining from going out after infection
・It is recommended to refrain from going out for 5 days from the day after the onset of symptoms.
・For 10 days after the onset of symptoms, the virus may be shed, so it is recommended to wear a mask and avoid contact with people who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill.
・There is no need to refrain from going out in the future for people who have been in close contact.
They just say that “please pay attention to your physical condition.”

(*Unit: person (number of infected people on that day))
*日本政府は2023年5月08日で新型コロナの感染症法上の取り扱いを
「2類相当＝危険な病気」から「5類＝ただの風邪」に変更し、
新規感染者数も約5000医療機関からしか集計しないため、
5月8日で日々の新規感染者宇数発表はなくなる可能性が高いです。
*The Japanese government has decided to change the handling of COVID-19 under the Infectious Diseases Act from “category 2 = dangerous disease” to “category 5 = common cold” on May 08, 2023. Along with this, the number of new infections will only be counted from about 5,000 medical institutions, so it is highly likely that the daily number of new infections will no longer be announced on May 8.
