The epidemic situation of COVID-19 in Japan has started to climb again, setting a record of more than 200 confirmed cases for three consecutive days, and it is getting more and more every day, mainly concentrated in Tokyo. Including nightclubs, schools and even the US military base in Okinawa, the news of cluster infection reached a new peak after the epidemic slowed down in early May, and has now recovered to the level of April.

Now in a nightclub in Tokyo, it is reported that 100 people are infected with nightclubs, including three personnel of the Coast Guard (Haibao, equivalent to the Coast Guard) responsible for patrolling the Diaoyutai waters. Now the relevant operators are also required to suspend business; According to a report quoted by Bloomberg News in Asahi Shimbun, an official who did not want to be named revealed that Tokyo would subsidize these nightclubs to avoid a major impact on the economy.

However, Japan has not yet implemented universal subsidies for enterprises, but it has started to subsidize nightclubs, and it may be expected to provide more compensation measures in the future; However, the authorities believe that most cases can still be traced, so there is no need for a comprehensive blockade or a state of emergency, and it can still be gradually opened. At present, more than 5000 parties have been opened.

However, in addition to nightclubs, news of infection has also spread from schools. According to Asahi Shimbun, 22 children and 22 nurses in a nursery in Tokyo have asked the kindergarten to close, and 200 related contacts have been isolated at home.

In addition, there is news of infection in secondary schools in Kobe. A male teacher is suspected of infecting female students. The school also urgently requires classes to be suspended, and all students who have taught male teachers are isolated at home. A female teacher in a municipal primary school in Kanagawa Prefecture was also diagnosed, and the school was closed and disinfected urgently.

The number of new cases in Tokyo has increased rapidly, * * *: I am worried that the elderly will bring this second wave of infection, which has hit record highs and concentrated in the Tokyo metropolitan area. According to NHK, Abe * * * said that this was mainly because bar and club employees voluntarily requested PCR screening, most of whom were young people under the age of 30. However, more and more attention should be paid to "secondary infection", which will be transmitted to the elderly and patients with chronic diseases through these young people, thus triggering the second wave of large-scale infection and death.

Therefore, Abe also said that more people will be screened to find the direction of infection, requiring enterprises to install partitions and transparent curtains to achieve the effect of isolation.

However, with the emergence of mass gatherings in schools and nightclubs, whether to solve the state of emergency has become a very difficult choice.
