According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, there is no definitive information that humans are spreading one after another, and the domestic infection is not spreading at this time, regarding the spread of pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus in China. According to the report, it is important to take regular infection measures such as hand washing and cough etiquette.

In Japan, a 30-year-old Chinese citizen living in Kanagawa Prefecture was found to be infected with the new coronavirus this month after returning from Wuhan, Hubei Province.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, men have already recovered from their symptoms, have been discharged from medical facilities, and have not been confirmed to have infected family members or medical personnel.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has not confirmed any cases of this pneumonia transmitted from person to person one after another, and it is unlikely that the infection will spread around men.

No other person has been suspected of being infected with the new coronavirus in Japan since this man.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare calls on those who have returned from Wuhan to see a medical institution immediately if they have symptoms such as coughs and fever, and to report their travel history.

In addition, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, which tests for the presence of the new coronavirus, responds to the situation at an early stage. I am asking you to report.
