Two men in Saitama prefecture who were waiting at home after being infected with the new coronavirus died, and the treatment destinations for patients with mild illness become an issue, while Saitama Prefecture has a hotel where mild illnesses are temporarily treated, about 100 rooms. Has announced that it has newly rented to Iruma City. The hotel secured by the prefecture now has more than 500 rooms, and is ready for acceptance in each region of the prefecture.
Last month in Saitama prefecture, two men who had been diagnosed with mild illness and suddenly changed their condition while waiting at home died.
For this reason, the prefecture has changed the policy of having patients with mild illness receive temporary medical treatment at their hotels rather than at home, and has been promoting the securing of hotels.
As a result, 99 rooms of "Iruma Daiichi Hotel" in Iruma city were newly secured as the fourth hotel.
A total of 514 rooms were secured for mildly ill patients in the prefecture, and the area is ready for acceptance in each region of the prefecture.
According to the prefecture, doctors and nurses are waiting at each hotel, and we are also deploying medical equipment to measure the oxygen concentration in the blood to prepare for sudden changes in the patient's condition.
Since there are more than 200 infected people waiting at home because the beds of medical institutions cannot be kept up in Saitama prefecture, the prefecture aims to secure a hotel with 1,000 rooms in total.
