Japan: COVID-19 Deaths Close To Zero
Bloomberg: Japan almost reaches zero death rate from coronavirus became the lowest since July 2020 – the beginning of the second wave of the pandemic. Bloomberg reports. Mortality in the country has almost reached zero, and the daily number of coronavirus infections has decreased from 25 thousand in August 2021 to 200 cases over the past three weeks. One of the reasons for the sharp decline in the incidence was the massive vaccination. As of Tuesday, December 7, about 97 million people – 77 percent of the population – are fully vaccinated in Japan. Among older people, immunization rates are approaching 100 percent: 92 percent of citizens aged 65 and over have completed the full course of vaccinations. However, many other developed countries that have launched similar campaigns to combat the virus are now seeing a rise in the number of infections and deaths. Related materials 00:01 – November 25
