Dr. Kaku pointed out that many people could concentrate on medical institutions and disrupt the workplace based on the experience of the pandemic influenza in 2009. "If patients concentrate on one medical institution, It is necessary to establish a system in which local medical institutions cooperate so that the mildly ill can be treated by a local GP, and the severely ill can receive advanced treatment at a hospital. That's it. "

Also, if you feel uneasy about infection, such as fever or cough, please call a health center or a consultation center of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, and ask for instructions on the hospital you will consult. It is important that you do not hesitate to have an appropriate treatment before you start to get treatment. "

It is necessary to carry out duties while confirming that the countermeasures have been thoroughly implemented with each other. "
