Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is making adjustments to provide a bonus of 200,000 yen per person to doctors and nurses of medical institutions that accept patients.

Staff members such as healthcare workers who treat patients with new-type coronavirus and nursing homes that prevent infection of elderly residents work while facing risks, and both the ruling and opposition parties have argued that benefits should be paid.

For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is making adjustments so that doctors and nurses of medical institutions that actually accept patients will receive a benefit of 200,000 yen per person.

In addition, although we do not accept patients, we are considering giving 100,000 yen per person to doctors and nurses at medical institutions who have secured beds.

In addition, the amount of payment is being considered as it is decided to pay to staff such as nursing homes.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is adjusting the medical treatment fee for the treatment of critically ill patients admitted to the ICU = intensive care unit in the direction of increasing it to three times the usual amount due to the need for infection control personnel.
