The epidemic in Japan is seriously out of control, with 25,000 new cases in a single day!

According to statistics from the Japan Broadcasting Association TV station as of 19:30 local time on the 19th, Japan had 25,156 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 that day, exceeding 25,000 for the first time. A few days ago, 27 of Japan's 47 prefectures set new peaks. The number of critically ill patients has hit a new high for six consecutive days.

 

An expert group providing epidemic prevention advice to the Japanese government judged that the worsening epidemic in Japan "has become difficult to contain" . In terms of the average daily number of new cases in the past week, 40 prefectures have reached the highest level of the four-level epidemic alert, that is, the "explosive development stage . "

 

The epidemic situation in Okinawa, Japan is particularly serious. According to a report by Japan's "Okinawa Times" on the 19th, the current new crown infection rate in Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, has exceeded that of Malaysia , which ranks first in Asia. It is called by the media as "the most seriously infected place in the world . "

 

The Japanese epidemic is out of control due to the large-scale spread of the Delta virus. The current situation of Japanese hospitals is basically overcrowded. Tokyo, Japan has introduced a new hospitalization policy. Only the most seriously ill patients can be hospitalized for treatment. This is also one of the reasons for the continuous increase in the number of deaths from the new crown in Japan . The Japanese government also admitted that it has entered a state of " out of control of the epidemic ."

 

According to the website of the Japan Broadcasting Association ( NHK), famous Japanese actor Shinichi Chiba died of pneumonia caused by infection with the new coronavirus at 5:26 pm local time on August 19 at Kimitsu City Hospital in Chiba Prefecture. He was 82 years old.

 

Shinichi Chiba once played the role of "Xiong Ba" in the TV series "Feng Yun" in China, working with actors such as Zhao Wenzhuo, Peter Ho, and Jiang Qinqin . He is well-known to Chinese audiences and has become a childhood memory for many people born in the 1980s and 1990s.

 

Before Japan hosted the Olympics, the global COVID-19 situation was very serious. During the Olympics, foreign delegations were tested positive, but Japan only quarantined the confirmed ones and arranged hotel check-in for other travellers as usual. During the Olympics, athletes from many countries were diagnosed with COVID-19. After the Olympics, the number of COVID-19 cases in Tokyo soared.

 

In addition, according to statistics, Japan's vaccination rate is at the bottom among developed countries. However, Japan will also host the Tokyo Paralympics from August 24 to September 5, when the epidemic situation will be more severe.
