A nurse working at a hospital with a new type of corona outbreak applied for an industrial accident May 15 at 20:11
A female nurse working at a hospital in Tokyo that had a new coronavirus outbreak filed for an industrial accident claiming that the infection was due to work.
Workers who applied for industrial accidents were nurse women working in hospitals in Tokyo, who were confirmed to have been infected with inpatients, doctors, and nurses.
According to an agent's lawyer, a woman had to work longer than usual to care for a small number of infected inpatients after a large number of employees were confirmed to have been infected in the middle of last month. It is said that the infection was confirmed on the 29th after symptoms such as this appeared.
The woman has symptoms such as pneumonia and dyspnea and is currently hospitalized. In addition, mothers in their 80s were also confirmed to be infected.
The woman commented, "I couldn't talk to anyone because I didn't make a noise at work. I'm really sorry that my mother got infected because of my work."
So far, there is no explanation on the procedure of work-related accidents from the hospital, and no one else has applied for work-related accidents at this hospital. However, if the country is aware of a mass infection, it is necessary to actively explain to the employer about the accident compensation insurance system and provide relief. We need to make sure everyone knows how to do it. "
