Maternity clinic also cancels attending event to reduce infection risk April 10 12:22
In response to the emergency declaration, the obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Saitama City has taken measures to stop the "witness attendance" where husbands and others are present at childbirth to avoid the risk of spread of the new coronavirus.
Since last month, the obstetrics and gynecology clinic in Omiya-ku, Saitama has taken measures such as disinfecting the doorknob once an hour.
However, in response to the declaration of emergency, the clinic decided to limit the number of people who can enter the hospital to patients and pregnant women as a further measure. In addition to canceling the “Bennen”, we have also begun to respond to those who visited the hospital for attending pregnancy check-ups.
A woman who came to the hospital for a medical checkup and said that the first day of next month is the expected date of childbirth, `` I feel sorry that my husband can not be present at childbirth, but it is inevitable because the baby is the best to be born well. That's right. "
In addition, her husband, waiting for his wife to return in the car, said, "I am sorry that it was canceled because I went to my parents' classroom to attend the first birth."
Dr. Kaori Kashiwazaki of Kashiwazaki Obstetrics and Gynecology Department said, "I would like to fully support those who are worried about stopping attendance and other events."
