If a lockdown were enacted from April 6, and if more than 60% of trips outside the home were restricted voluntarily, then a collapse of medical facilities could be avoided. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.02.20051490 doi: medRxiv preprint Experiences of Japanese people living in Wuhan until the outbreak provide information related to mild cases because complete laboratory surveillance was conducted for them. We used data of the COVID-19 community outbreak of patients in Japan who showed any symptom during January 14 -March 28, 2020 in Tokyo. We estimated a collapse of medical facilities in late April and about 0.5 million cases with mortality in Tokyo if a lockdown were not applied. ./cache/cord-306720-86ovj7xg.txt ./txt/cord-306720-86ovj7xg.txt
