I could not go to work due to the new corona
A survey conducted by a helper industry group found that as of the end of last month, there were 10% of home-visit nursing care establishments with employees who could not go to work due to the new coronavirus. .
The National Home Helper Council conducted an urgent questionnaire survey on the work situation of staff and the usage status of services for more than 3000 visiting care establishments in 23 prefectures from 17th to 23rd of last month. .
According to this, 26 business establishments, which is 10% of the 256 business establishments that responded, could not be dispatched by staff such as helpers due to the response of children who were absent from school and the risk of being infected through work. I am trying. At one of the establishments, a quarter of the staff could not go to work.
It seems that the number of employees who are unable to go to work is increasing with the expansion of the area subject to the declaration of emergency, and securing the human resources to support home-visit nursing care, which is playing an increasingly important role in the expansion of leave such as day services, has become an issue. .
Hiromi Kamiya, Chairman of the National Home Helpers Association, said, “Even if there is one helper, it will put a burden on other staff, and it will not be possible to immediately increase the number of home care workers. I do not know when I will be infected. Among them, there are many helpers who are worried about how long they can continue to work. ”
