The medical treatment place for patients with mild illness infected with the new coronavirus has changed to the policy of accommodation as a basic policy, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has shown the local government a manual that summarizes the guideline such as the number of doctors to be assigned.
This means that there are around 9,000 such accommodation facilities nationwide.
Among people infected with the virus, those with mild symptoms and those who do not have symptoms were also treated as homes for treatment, except for elderly people who are at high risk of becoming serious, but the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is waiting for patients In response to the death of Mr. Sato and others, we changed the policy to provide medical treatment at accommodation facilities.
Regarding accommodation facilities that accept patients, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has created a manual and presented it to local governments nationwide to provide appropriate medical treatment.
According to the manual, as a guide for the facility where about 100 patients will stay, one doctor will be assigned to respond to medical examinations and health consultations, and nurses and public health nurses require that 2 to 4 people perform thermometry and health check. .
Nurses and public health nurses are expected to be full-time during the day.
In addition, to prevent the spread of infection, we will perform “zoning” that separates areas where protective clothing is needed from other areas, and accommodation staff will use cameras and monitors to prevent unnecessary access. I'm asking you to confirm.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, there are approximately 9,000 such accommodation facilities in 39 prefectures as of the 23rd.
