This means that doctors who are stationed during the day and nurses who are available 24 hours a day will form a team, connect online with the smartphone of the person staying in the room, and follow up.
Also, the PCR test is performed on a dedicated floor by a medical team trained in putting on and taking off protective clothing.
In order to prevent infection of medical staff, in principle, people staying at hotels stay in their rooms except when they undergo PCR tests or go for meals.
Mr. Inoguchi said, `` Basically, we will move mild patients and asymptomatic patients who are hospitalized and have stable condition from the hospital to the hotel, but if the medical system is tight, we will directly transfer patients from home. I think it will be necessary to transfer it to the hotel. "
