Yamaguchi: Confirmed infection by one person. Infected on Osaka business trip. Eight people in the prefecture. New corona on April 5, 1:13.
On the evening of April 4, Yamaguchi Prefecture announced that one man in his 40s living in Kudamatsu City was newly confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus. This is the eighth person that has been infected in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
According to Yamaguchi Prefecture, the newly confirmed infection was a male employee in his 40s who lives in Kudamatsu City.
The man returned to Kudamatsu City on a day trip to Osaka on the 25th of a month on a bullet train, and visited a medical institution since last month on the 29th since fever persisted.
Since the symptoms did not improve and the symptoms of pneumonia were seen on the 3rd, a virus test on the 4th confirmed that the virus was positive.
Men are hospitalized at an infectious disease designated medical institution in the prefecture, and their condition is stable. This is the eighth person that has been infected in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The prefecture considers that it is highly likely to have been infected on a business trip to Osaka, so we will check the health status of two colleagues who accompanied us and investigate whether there are any close contacts.
Governor Muraoka said at a press conference, "I would like you to refrain from going to areas where infection is widespread as much as possible. We reminded us to refrain from moving to areas where infections are increasing, such as Osaka and Fukuoka.
