As a response to the 8th wave of the new coronavirus, following the 7th wave, Chiyoda Ward will lend smartphone-linked CO2 sensors to general households that can check the ventilation status anywhere.

At the time of the 7th wave, the metropolitan government's monitoring meeting suggested that "one reason is that the rooms are closed with air conditioners due to the continuous hot days," and that "approximately 70% (68.9%) of the infection routes are domestic infections." Data such as that are shown, and the same is assumed in winter.

In addition, in the questionnaire at the time of renting out the 7th wave (report of 112 cases of on-site measurement), extremely high concentrations were not reported, and there was a tendency for each person to be careful. With the temperature dropping and the spread of infection expected to spread, we hope that the residents will use it according to their activities, such as gatherings at the end of the year, year-end parties, and returning home. We are planning to rent 200 units, doubling the number of the 7th wave.
