新型コロナ　東京都の重症者60人に　今週に入り急増(2020年11月27日)

Tokyo continuously has increasing number of severe symptoms patient of COIVD-19. Despite this, Japan still wants to make the economy running, and all the restaurants are not taking proper CDC measures. Japan’s restaurants tend to be way smaller compared to here, and therefore opening one seat or a table apart from each other does not really help.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government confirmed 481 people infected with the new coronavirus on the 26th, and revealed that 60 people severe symptoms. It is the first time that the number of people with severe symptoms that has reached the 60s since May 11, during the state of emergency. Governor Koike: "'Preventing severe symptoms, let's protect elderly people'. I've been saying this for a long time. After all, the rate of the symptoms becoming more severe is very high for the elderly." There are now 60 people. It has not reached 60 people since May 11, when the state of emergency was declared. The number of people with severe symptoms has increased by 20 this week. In addition, the number of infected people aged 65 and over who are at high risk of aggravation is 83, the highest ever.
