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.

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.
