Japanese hotel epidemic

1. The virus may mutate. According to the global epidemic data released by the World Health Organization, the epidemic situation in many countries in the world is rebounding, with more than 1000 new cases of COVID-19 in Japan for three consecutive days. The Japanese Institute of Infectious Diseases found that the latest COVID-19 is a mutant virus with a new gene sequence. This new virus may be more infectious and aggressive, so we should be more careful to guard against it.

Second, Japan's short-distance tourism promotion activities may be due to the relatively good epidemic trend. With the opening of restaurants, the return of workers and the resumption of classes in schools, the masses relaxed their vigilance. In order to restore the domestic economy as soon as possible, the government launched a series of preferential tourism promotion activities, which gave COVID-19 an opportunity and aggravated the spread of the epidemic. Previously, there were many reports that family members were infected with each other because they went out for parties and dinners, or even just went to the bathroom or took the same car in the same place. A patient infected with COVID-19 was infected with many strangers. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce going out and do personal protection.

Third, the Japanese did not work hard enough on the COVID-19 test. According to Japanese laws on infectious diseases, patients can be required to be hospitalized. However, there is no clear law that the relevant departments can force ordinary people to carry out testing, which may lead to the spread of the virus among healthy people, and people who have been infected with COVID-19 have not been tested for nucleic acid. Nucleic acid detection is one of the better methods to detect COVID-19 so far, which can find the potential source of infection as much as possible, and once asymptomatic infected people are found, they can also be isolated and treated immediately, thus grasping the key points of prevention and control. For example, a nationwide nucleic acid test was conducted in Wuhan, China, which provided a good foundation for government prevention and control, workers' return to work and school resumption.
