Changes in infection by the weekly infection rate of the new coronavirus by prefecture in Japan

The weekly infection rate is a simple number that indicates "how many times the cumulative number of infected people on the day has increased from the cumulative number of infected people one week ago.

The definition of color coding that indicates the degree of infection is as follows.

Yellow (1.6 or higher: dangerous)⇒
Orange (1.2-1.5: still not converged))⇒
Green (1.05 to 1.14: Converging soon)⇒
Light blue (1.015 to 1.049: another breath)
No coloring (1.014 or less: almost safe)

The higher the number, the higher the risk.

Prefecture color coding is based on the classification of the last day (today). If there is no coloring, it is classified as "almost safe (end)".
