A team of experts from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare conducted a detailed analysis of domestic data on the outbreak of the new coronavirus and found that 75% of infected people were not transmitted to others and that the spread was almost constant. However, it turned out that it was a closed environment where the air tended to stagnate. Analysts point out that “avoiding people from gathering in narrow indoor spaces may prevent the spread of infection.”

It was organized by a group of researchers from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare’s task force, which was set up to prevent the emergence of a population of infected people called “clusters.”
The group conducted a detailed analysis of 110 infected people in the country, including 10 cases in which the outbreak occurred in the population by last month.

As a result, 83 people (75.4%) were no one at the time of the survey, and the spread of infection was only one in more than half of the 27 people who were confirmed to have a secondary infection.

Please consider whether or not to hold such events in the environment, including the necessity. “
