According to Shiga Prefecture, female students attended a farewell party for a university seminar in Kyoto on 21st this month, and had symptoms such as fever of 37 degrees and stuffy nose from the 25th.
On 27th of this month, I consulted with the prefecture's Returnee and Contact Center, but at that time no infection was suspected, and she returned to normal fever.
