Urgent request to hurry Chiba Prefectural Governor Morita to secure sickbeds April 13 18:37
Due to the rapid increase in the number of new coronavirus-infected persons in Chiba Prefecture, it has taken time to adjust hospitalization destinations, so the mayors of four cities in the prefecture will ask the Governor Morita to secure beds, including accepting mildly ill patients at hotels. We made an urgent request to hurry up.
Urgent requests were made by the mayors of four prefectures in Chiba, Funabashi, Matsudo, and Kashiwa, and on the 13th, three of them, including Mayor Toru Matsudo of Funabashi, came under Governor Morita. We visited and submitted a request to hurry to secure a bed in preparation for an increase in the number of infected people.
According to Chiba Prefecture, as of the 12th, 162 infected hospitalized hospitals have been hospitalized, but 218 people have not been able to stay in the hospital because it takes time to adjust.
For this reason, in Funabashi City, the local medical association cooperates with the four hotels in the city to make final adjustments in order to accept patients with mild illness, and other cities are also working to secure their own. We urgently call on the prefecture's plan to take financial measures.
In addition, it is seeking medical supplies such as cotton swabs for virus testing, and Governor Morita has responded positively to the request.
Matsudo, the mayor of Funabashi City, said, "If the medical collapse begins, it will not return to its original state. I would like to ask for a quick response as much as possible to improve the fatigue of medical staff."
