Disinfection work at a facility suspected of having a cluster

At a facility in Kitami City, Hokkaido, where a new cluster of coronavirus was suspected to have infected a group called "cluster," a specialist company disinfected the area.

The Kitami General Wholesale Center in Kitami City was used for housing equipment-related exhibitions for three days until this month, and it was confirmed that six people who had visited were infected with the new coronavirus.

Hokkaido and others are suspected of having infected a group called a "cluster," and the Kitami General Wholesale Center commissioned a specialized contractor to disinfect it on the 29th. In the hall where the exhibition was held, two workers wore protective clothing and goggles and sprayed disinfectant.

The Kitami General Wholesale Center called for self-restraint for the time being, and the next month's schedule was to postpone the implementation.

Tetsuya Yamamoto, Executive Director of the Kitami General Wholesale Center, said, "I want to make citizens feel safe by disinfection. We would like to accept new lending at the venue after the series of infections has ended."
