This is what the streets of Tokyo looked like today!↓
(Around 15:00 today, Shibuya Scramble Crossing, Tokyo)
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)
(*東京新聞)
(Deaths due to COVID-19 in Tokyo)
(*東京都福祉保健局)
* 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)

・Quarantine at the airport passengers arriving at the airport from overseas.

(*海外安全ホームページ – 外務省)
*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)
*Graph of the number of newly infected people in Japan as of yesterday
(*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)
*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.
(Total number of people undergoing medical treatment nationwide) = (Total number of infected people nationwide) – (Total number of deaths nationwide) – (Total number of discharged people nationwide)
(*NHK NEWS WEB)
<Summary of today’s “Major News Related to COVID-19 in Japan”>
Well, COVID-19 has been changed to (category 5 = common cold) today, so the announcement of the daily number of new infections has ended completely…!
*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”.
However, there are already more countries around the world that are not counting the number of infected people properly, so the trend in the number of infected people around the world is similar to the first wave (spring 2020)↓
(*worldometers)
Well… I feel like we’ve been abandoned by the government at an unbelievable timing… (dry laugh) ↓
(Test positive rate in Tokyo)
I briefly summarized what will happen if it is changed to Category 5 yesterday, so if you are interested, please check it out!
In addition, as I wrote in the article above, each municipality has a slightly different response, and information is provided on their respective web pages.
For example, Tokyo↓
By the way, it seems that there are quite a lot of voices from medical experts saying,
“Don’t let your guard down even if COVID-19 is changed to Category 5!”
Professor Eiichiro Yamafuji, Fukushima Medical University
“We will not be able to grasp the status of the epidemic, and we will not be able to grasp how many people have died now, but only very late.”
“It could give the misunderstanding that even the infectivity is the same as the flu.”
“Not all medical institutions can examine it like the flu.”
…In addition, every time an article mentioning such an obvious fact is published, the comment section of articles such as Yahoo! seems to be filled with anti-comments… (dry laugh)
This is how the city looks like today! ↓
(*東京・スクランブル交差点)
↓ In addition, there was such an article! ↓
(* There was no other news I would like to introduce today)
… So, the government’s announcement of the daily number of infected people has ended, so this “daily summary article” will also end!
From now on, I will take a break from posting daily articles for a while, but when new information comes out, I will write an article or introduce it on SNS such as Twitter!
Please be careful when you go out!

*単位:人(その日の感染者数)
(*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.
