Gifu Prefectural Government

The Situation in Gifu Prefecture

・  35 clusters have occurred since December related to high-risk eating & drinking activities.

・  Many infections are occurring in every situation of daily life, including at workplaces, schools and in the home.

・  The situation is grave with strong fears of a possible explosion in infections and collapse of the medical system.

・  There are also many cases of younger people passing on infection to older relatives (parents etc) and also many cases of even younger people suffering from after-effects, even if they may not have experienced symptoms or have only experienced light symptoms.
