According to Kashiwa City, women in their 80s had a fever of 37 degrees or less on the 30th of last month, but the fever fell.After that, the fever rose again, so they went to a medical institution and checked for viruses. As a result, the infection was found for three days. The woman has a fever but has complained of breathlessness.

The grandchildren in their 20s, who live with women, had fever at 38 degrees C since last month and had symptoms of taste disorder, so Kashiwa City will conduct a virus test in the future.

In addition, a man in his thirties visited a medical institution due to a fever of 39 degrees Celsius on the 29th of last month. Symptoms of pneumonia were confirmed, and as a result of a virus test, infection was found on the 3rd. It means that the fever is still in the high 37's.

Both of them are going to be hospitalized soon.

In addition, there is no recent history of traveling abroad, and the route of transmission is unknown, so Kashiwa City will continue to investigate the behavioral history of the two people.
