Observation of health condition until the end of the incubation period
It was confirmed on 28th that Japanese men living in Nara Prefecture who had never traveled to Wuhan, China, were infected with the virus due to a series of new types of pneumonia caused by the coronavirus. Nara Prefecture will ask male family members and healthcare professionals to be aware of any changes in their health status until the end of the incubation period, next month.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and Nara Prefecture, it was confirmed that a new type of coronavirus was infected by a Japanese male in his 60s living in Nara Prefecture, and had never traveled to Wuhan, Hubei Province, China .
The man is still in the hospital as a bus driver, but his condition is stable and he is likely to have been infected with the virus this month when he brought in a tourist from Wuhan.
The prefecture lists the people who have been in close contact, such as men's families and those involved in the medical institution that has been consulted, and says that while observing their health, no one has ever had symptoms such as pneumonia.
Nara requires people who come into close contact with men to measure their body temperature twice a day, and will contact them if they have a fever of 37 ° C for more than 5 minutes.
And, until around the end of the incubation period on the 8th of next month, we will ask you to check if your health condition has changed.
Also, during this time, men used private cars when traveling outside of work, so there is no information that they used public transportation.
