Kyodo News reported yesterday that about 6,100 new coronavirus cases came out all over Japan.

The number of new confirmed cases, which has surpassed 7,500 for three consecutive days, has dropped to 6,000, but it was the highest ever recorded on Sunday.

The number of new confirmed cases in the capital Tokyo fell to about 1,500 in four days, but it was the highest as of Sunday.

The number of confirmed cases, which was the highest every day from the 7th when 4 emergency situations in the metropolitan area, including Tokyo, were announced, has dropped sharply because the number of tests has decreased due to the three-day holiday until today (11th)’Adult’s Day’.

NHK broadcast reported that it was the effect of the decrease in the number of inspections ahead of the holiday season, and that the corona spread cannot be seen as subdued.

The cumulative number of confirmed cases in Japan has increased to 289,000.

The number of corona deaths yesterday increased by 45 to 4,080, and the number of severely ill patients reached 850, the highest level.

New mutant viruses have also been identified.

Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced on the 2nd that four men and women who entered Korea have been infected with Corona 19, a mutation different from those found in the UK and South Africa.

Those arriving from Brazil were tested positive at the Haneda Airport quarantine stage and then genetically analyzed the samples.

A total of 34 people were infected with the highly contagious mutant virus confirmed in Japan.
