New virus doctors infect town to investigate children's health status on February 14 at 14:21
In response to the infection of a new coronavirus by a male doctor in his 50s in Wakayama Prefecture, Yuasa-cho, where his doctor works, set up a headquarters on the morning of the 14th. We decided to investigate if there were any problems with the health of children attending schools in the town.
On the morning of March 14, Yuasa-cho arrived at the government office on the morning of March 14 after a 50-year-old surgeon working at Saiseikai Arita Hospital in Yuasa-cho, Wakayama Prefecture, was confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus. We held a meeting and established a task force.
Mayor Kamiyama Akiyoshi said, "We will respond promptly in cooperation with prefectures and public health centers, taking into account the possibility that the infection is spreading."
At the meeting, through the Council of Social Welfare, etc., we determined the conditions of patients at Arita Hospital and decided to conduct a survey on the health of children attending elementary and junior high schools in the town.
