The increase in other countries is also not unusual. In France, for the first time in three months, more than 200,000 new cases were reported a day. Again, submutations in Omicron are driving the spread.

In France on the 5th local time, there were 206,554 new cases of Corona 19.
This is the highest number in three months.
In France, a bill to operate the COVID-19 monitoring system has been enacted and implemented since May 2020, when the spread of the coronavirus began.
Wearing a mask is also recommended.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 4.28 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 around the world in one week from the 20th of last month.
This is the third consecutive week of increase.
In Italy, 130,000 new cases were confirmed a day, and in the UK, the number of confirmed cases per day increased by about four times in the last month.
In Japan, an average of more than 20,000 new confirmed cases per day over the past week, a 58% increase compared to a week ago.
With such signs of re-spreading, the possibility of delaying the travel coupon payment project promoted by the Japanese government to revitalize domestic travel has increased.
The global resurgence of COVID-19 is being driven by sub-displacements of the micron, BA.4 and BA.5.
The European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recently warned that BA.4 and BA.5 will dominate the whole of Europe.
