Over the past three years, more than 440,000 people in Kagoshima Prefecture have been infected with the new coronavirus, and nearly 900 people have lost their lives. Today, May 8th, the way we deal with the coronavirus has changed dramatically.
Until now, tuberculosis and SARS have been classified under the Infectious Diseases Control Law as “category 2”, but from May 8, they will be classified as “category 5”, the same as seasonal influenza. There is no longer a legal restraint of action, and measures are now left to the discretion of individuals. We covered the situation on the first day.
