Amidst another wave of coronavirus infections this winter, the number of daily COVID-19 deaths in Japan has hit new records.
That's despite the omicron variant's lower mortality rate.
In his view, "The current wave is only being partially grasped by the numbers, and in reality, it probably exceeds the seventh wave."
To deal with the situation, Matsumoto urges clinics concerned about outbreaks in their facility to offer remote care in order to increase the number of medical facilities able to handle coronavirus patients. He said, "To keep the economy moving, a medical system needs to be established in which those infected with the coronavirus can be readily taken in," and that through timely treatment, the number of deaths can be kept under control.
