This includes reporting to doctors, especially if there is a person who does not know the route of infection with the new coronavirus, such as reporting where they have visited, such as where they have been, or having multiple infected people visit the same place. If there is any information that may lead to the discovery of a cluster, such as a local government, public health center, etc., we request that the report be sent to academic societies.
Even if the infection has not been confirmed, even those with a high probability of infection, such as viral pneumonia that has spread to both lungs, are required to report information such as their behavior history.
“In finding clusters, information from medical sites is important data to supplement the information collected by local governments and health centers. I want to take advantage of my home network. "
