This woman is an employee of a company that manages elderly housing in Matsuyama, where residents and staff are infected one after another, and the number of infections in Ehime Prefecture has reached 46.
A newly infected person was a female office worker in her 20s living in Matsuyama City. According to Ehime Prefecture, this woman was working in a serviced elderly house with a series of infected residents and staff, and the test on the 3rd of this month was negative.
However, as residents and co-workers were infected one after another, they were confirmed to have been infected on the 19th when they were examined for returning to work after waiting for two weeks at home and observing their health.
Although the woman has already been hospitalized and has no symptoms, the prefecture and Matsuyama City have decided to have three family members who live together as a close contact and wait for their stay at the house to conduct health observation.
Governor Nakamura said that infection in his twenties was confirmed on the 18th and 19th, saying, "Young people may not develop the disease even if they are infected, and there is a risk that they will be transmitted to people without realizing it. I would like you to make sure that you are thorough. "
Now, 46 people have been confirmed to be infected in Ehime prefecture.
