As of November 7, the cumulative death toll in Japan was 18,321. From the first detection of patients with COVID-19 infections in Japan in February last year, to the “fourth wave” of the epidemic at the beginning of this year, the death toll increased sharply.

 

In April this year, the cumulative number of deaths from infection in Japan exceeded 10,000, and it even reached it on May 7. It took a maximum of 148 people in a day. On the 18th of the same month, a total of 216 deaths were announced nationwide, including 121 unannounced people in Kobe City. However, after this year’s “fifth wave” of the epidemic eased, the death toll began to decrease.

 

The reduction in the number of deaths is believed to be due to the increase in vaccination rates, which effectively improved the prevention of severe illness.

At present, the general population in Japan has been vaccinated for more than 70% of people from April to late October this year.

The Japanese government’s goal is to complete the second vaccination of all citizens in early November, and plans to start the third vaccination in December.
