It has been newly confirmed that a man in his 40s who lives in Chiba Prefecture and works for a company in Tokyo is infected with the new coronavirus. Chiba Prefecture is investigating detailed routes of infection, as there is no history of overseas travel within two weeks before the onset.
The infection with the new coronavirus was confirmed in a man in his forties who lives in the northwestern part of Chiba Prefecture and works at a workplace in Tokyo.
According to Chiba Prefecture, men visited Hiroshima and Gifu prefectures on a business trip on 12th of this month, but had symptoms such as coughs and malaise before returning home on 14th, despite having joint and muscle pain. .
I started working at a workplace in Tokyo on the 17th of the new week, and after 18 days of sunrise I got a fever of 38 degrees 2 minutes, so I went to a medical institution in Chiba Prefecture, where I tested negative for influenza.
Since the symptoms did not improve even on the 19th, I visited the medical institution again and found that I had pneumonia, but I did not contact the consultation counter or health center.
Then, on the 21st, another medical institution was consulted and hospitalized, and when the specimen was collected, it was found on 22nd that it was infected with the new coronavirus.
Men are living alone and still have fever of 38 degrees and coughs.
Within two weeks before the onset of the 12th, no history of overseas travel and no clear contact with patients with pneumonia have been confirmed. We are requesting observation and examining the detailed route of infection.
The 13th case was found in Chiba Prefecture, including three returnees on a charter flight from Wuhan, China.
