A man in his 50s in Kochi City was confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus on 7th of this month, and was discharged after receiving treatment at a hospital in the city.
The NHK spoke while taking measures to control the infection, and the man said of the initial symptoms: "I had a whole body chill and a rash of pains. Then I got a high fever. It was like a cold." .
He also stated that "drinking miso soup did not smell or taste at all" and revealed that he felt abnormal taste and smell.
On the other hand, regarding the actions taken until the infection was confirmed, "in retrospect, in February I mostly stayed in the room and went out to go shopping, so I did not have any suspicion of infection even if the high fever appeared." He said that he did not know where he had been infected when he thought.
The man said, "When I was told, I was shocked and I didn't think I was going to get it. I wasn't the only one infected while watching TV. I felt like I had to fight together. I was mentally stable before I was discharged from the hospital. "
