However, regional news of the past week indicate that COVID cases continue to decline whereas cases of seasonal influenza are increasing.

@minorusaba

The troughs between peaks are rising

@currentbias Haven't seen official analyses, but from personal observation fewer people are masking on trains and in public areas indoors in Tokyo. Also, last booster available was nearly a year ago so probably not much immunity against latest COVID variants.
Thankfully people are still 100% masked in hospitals.
