Kochi Sukumo confirmed infection in males in their 60s to 64 people in the prefecture New Corona April 18 19:07

It was newly confirmed that a man in his 60s was infected with the new coronavirus in Sukumo City, Kochi Prefecture, and 64 people were confirmed infected in Kochi Prefecture.

A new infection was confirmed in a man in his 60s living in Sukumo City, according to the prefecture. Upon inspection, infection was confirmed on the 17th.

The symptom is mild.

This man had been riding twice in a car driven by a man from a driving agency company whose infection had already been confirmed, last month and this month, but because he had opened the windows and had a short boarding time. The prefecture thinks that it is unlikely that it was infected at that time.

The prefecture is in the process of inspecting seven concentrated male contacts.

The prefecture also found that 16 dense contacts of people who had been infected so far were tested negative, and that a total of 18 people, including the owner of a bar in Sukumo City who had a mass infection, and their family members, had 18 people. It was also revealed that he was discharged from the hospital on the day.

The prefecture calls, "Since infections in Sukumo City are still being confirmed, citizens should consider actions to reduce contact and consult with them early if they feel unwell."
