Japan's new COVID assessment criteria to focus on hospital capacity

Japan's new criteria to assess the COVID-19 situation will shift focus more on hospital capacity rather than the number of new infections in line with the increase in the vaccination rate and fewer people falling seriously ill, government officials said Monday. The new evaluation system, approved in a meeting of the government's subcommittee on the novel coronavirus response, will also classify the situation according to five levels, up from the current four, to forestall another wave of infections and a crunch on medical services.
