Whooping cough is on the rise, and the prefecture announced on the 20th that 42 patients were confirmed in the week from the 12th to the 18th, the highest number since full reporting began in 2018. This marks the fifth consecutive week of record highs.
The total number of patients since the start of this year is 220, significantly exceeding last year's 34.
The infection is thought to be spreading mainly among the younger generation, and future trends are of concern.
In addition, there has been an increase in "erythema infectiosum," a condition in which both cheeks turn red like an apple, so it is more important than ever to manage your health and take preventative measures.
