Temperature measurement every day for 4 weeks after discharge from the hospital.
In some cases, the patient became positive again after being infected with the new coronavirus and having been treated and discharged from the hospital. We notified the prefectures.
If you are infected with a new type of coronavirus and are admitted to a medical institution and treated, the virus has to be tested twice after the symptoms have recovered, and after confirming that both are negative, the patient is discharged.
However, since then, it has been reported that a woman in Osaka City, who had symptoms such as fever, and a man in Akita, who was a passenger on a cruise ship, tested positive again after a virus test.
In response to this, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to ask for health status confirmation, such as measuring body temperature every day for four weeks after discharge, and has notified prefectures and others.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, "it is unlikely that a person who has been confirmed twice negative will be able to infect other people. I thought it was necessary. "
