Japan Medical Association Suspects Third Wave
The head of the Japan Medical Association has suggested the current nationwide surge in newly confirmed coronavirus cases could be a third wave of infections in the country.
Association President Nakagawa Toshio told reporters on Wednesday that there have been clear signs of a resurgence in infections since last month. He added that the situation in Hokkaido is particularly worrisome.
Nakagawa said a continued rapid rise in new cases across the country would inevitably strain the healthcare system.
He urged the government to detect signs of regional spreading as quickly as possible and take action before it's too late.
