Whooping cough infections are spreading nationwide. According to an announcement by the prefecture on the 27th, 70 patients were reported in the week from May 19 to 25, the highest number since 2018. This is the sixth consecutive week of the highest number of cases.
The total number of patients this year is 294, more than eight times that of last year.
On the other hand, caution is also required against the so-called "fifth disease," which is known to cause the face to turn red like an apple.
The number of cases has exceeded the national threshold for issuing a warning for seven consecutive weeks, so continued vigilance is required.
