Postponement of 300 new nursing care workers gathered at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare at 4:06 on February 20
As the outbreak of the new coronavirus spreads, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to postpone the event, which will be held in Tokyo next month, bringing together about 300 people, including caregivers.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to postpone the event, which will be held in Minato-ku, Tokyo on June 6, with about 300 people gathering, including caregivers.
The event was to announce the use of the latest ICT in the nursing care industry, where labor shortages continue, to reduce the burden of work.
Many of the participants were nursing care staff, and because they regularly contact elderly people who are at high risk of becoming severely ill when infected with the new coronavirus, voices hesitated to participate and voices of anxiety were raised.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare wants to hold it again around summer.
To prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is urging the government to refrain from unnecessary and urgent meetings and to promote telework and staggered work to minimize opportunities for people to gather.
