Doing everyone is getting tested every day in the village then the positivity rate is well below 1% at this point, much lower than the rest of the country. they want to keep an eye on that last point. again, is the transmission leaving the village, affecting the local community. if it is that would be a problem for mcclosky and others. sanjay, thank you. thank you. more ahead on the cnn town hall with president biden. what he told a business owner about the labor shortage in the u.s.

Is there a criteria by which you would start to become concerned? what we look at is changes in patterns. so say if we started to see infection in people who weren t part of the close contact group, if we started to see a rising number of cases, if we started to see the cases doubling more rapidly than we thought, particularly if we started to see cases appearing in the local population that seemed to be linked back into the village or vice versa. it s not an easy task. it s the last point, guys, that s the most critical. they re doing really extensive contact tracing. 91 cases, they re trying to figure out are any of those cases now transmitting to the local population here in japan? is it affecting tokyo or japan overall? and what dr. mcclosky said, due to close contact tracing, the answer is no. if you do the math on the number of positive cases versus extensive testing they re
