In Fukuoka Prefecture, it was confirmed that four new people were infected with the new coronavirus.

The infection was confirmed by a male employee in his 40s who lives in Munakata City, a male employee in his 40s who lives in Fukuoka City, a male employee in his 20s, and a male employee in his 20s. There are four men in total.

Among them, a man in his 40s who lives in Munakata City had a headache and anorexia after returning home from work this month, and the fever continued at 37 degrees 8 minutes on the following day, and the fever continued thereafter. As a result of the examination, infection was confirmed. The fever has dropped and it is mild.

The man lives alone, and has continued medical treatment at home after the fever, so the prefecture considers that there are no close contacts.

On the other hand, there is no recent history of traveling abroad to men, and the prefecture did not know the route of transmission of the men because the work outside the city was commuting by private car.

A male employee in his forties in Minami-ku, Fukuoka, had a fever of 37 degrees this month. Since the fever persisted, two doctors visited two medical institutions, and a doctor contacted a health center on March 27 for examination. The infection was confirmed.

The city is examining medical institutions for close contacts, as men were recuperating at home outside of the hospital. The route of transmission in men is unknown.

A man in his 20s office worker in Jonan-ku, Fukuoka City, is a brother of an unemployed man in his 20s who has been confirmed infected on the 26th. There was, but the fever fell on the 24th. On 27th, after his brother's infection was confirmed, he was tested and found to be infected.

The man went to work this month on the 17th, 24th, and 26th, and the city is looking for close contacts.

A male employee in his 20s in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, stayed in the United States last year for language training and returned to Fukuoka City on the 20th of this month, waiting at home.

As a result of 39 degrees fever from the 21st of the day after returning to Japan, the infection was confirmed as a result of inspection.

The man lives alone, and after returning to Japan he does not go out except shopping on the 23rd, so the city does not see any close contacts.
