New coronavirus / variant “Omicron strain”
A mutated new corona virus that is spreading nationwide.
For the first time on April 7, 2020, we declared an emergency in the seven prefectures of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, Hyogo, and Fukuoka, and expanded the scope nationwide on April 16. After that, while it is thought that it will end after the third announcement in January 2021, the number of infected people has gradually increased again since the end of 2021 last year. As of the end of January, more than 10,000 infected people have been confirmed in Tokyo alone.
As of the 30th of last month, the number of people receiving medical treatment at home has exceeded 65,000, the highest number ever.
The variant “Omicron strain” continues to expand nationwide at an unprecedented rate.
Infectious symptoms include fever, cough and sore throat, all of which are mild. In addition, 20% of infected people are asymptomatic, making it difficult to distinguish them from colds.
I thought I had a cold, but I think it is not uncommon for a PCR test to be diagnosed as “positive.”
Because the risk of aggravation is lower than before, we cannot predict what kind of risk will come in the future if we neglect to take preventive measures against infection.
At our company, every morning, all employees always measure the temperature and disinfect their hands when they come to work.
Let’s live against the tension and crisis at the time of the first emergency declaration to counter this global pandemic.
