Tokyo: Transfer of mildly ill patients to hotels begins New Corona April 7 16:09
In Tokyo, the transfer of mildly ill or asymptomatic patients among those hospitalized with the new coronavirus to accommodation began on the 7th, and the patients arrived at hotels rented by the capital.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has set up a business hotel in Chuo-ku, Toyoko Inn Tokyo Station Shin-Ohashi, to provide temporary accommodation for mildly ill patients and asymptomatic patients in preparation for a rapid increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus. I borrowed "before."
The transfer was proceeded sequentially from the person who gave consent. On the 7th day of the first day, patients in the car arrived after 3:00 pm, and entered the hotel one after another with bags.
In this 12-story hotel, the rooms on the 4th floor and above will be provided to patients, and a total of about 100 people will be staying. Depending on the city, about 10 people will enter on the 7th.
In the future, staff and nurses in Tokyo will be available 24 hours a day, and doctors will be stationed during the day to monitor the temperature and monitor their health every day. In the morning, people stay in the rooms, and when they eat, they take their own lunch at the reception on the first floor. The interior was the same as usual, and there was a paper in the hallway stating, "Please spend your time in the living room and do not go out."
The entire cost will be covered by public expenses, and two tests will be performed at 24 hour intervals. If both tests are negative, you will be able to return to your home.
Kaori Okamoto, Chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Infectious Disease Control Section, said, "I would like to establish know-how at this hotel to expand our efforts and create a system that allows patients with severe illness to receive proper medical care."
