According to NHK on Sunday, 205 inmates and 95 guards were infected with influenza this winter at Nagoya Prison in Miyoshi, Aichi.

This is equivalent to 12% of all prisoners and 21% of employees. The prison authorities explained that the highest number of prisoners in the past five years with related records had been infected with influenza.

To prevent further spread of the influenza, the prison halted operation of workplaces where inmates worked and measured their body temperature for all inmates.

In Japan, influenza has become a big hit with 2.13 million patients for the past week as of Tuesday. The number of patients surpassed the level of alarm in all 47 metropolitan governments. 사설경마
