Kanagawa Home recuperator complains that "test for negative confirmation is necessary" New Corona May 2 16:37
An NHK interview was conducted by a woman in her 30s living in Kanagawa Prefecture who was treated by a new coronavirus and was treated as a mild disease at home. The prefecture says that people who have been treated at home etc. have returned to normal life if there are no symptoms 2 weeks after confirmation of infection "Is it necessary to have a test to confirm the negative because it may be transmitted to other people?" I am worried about my anxiety.
A woman in her thirties living in Kanagawa Prefecture was confirmed infected on the 13th of last month.
I was thoroughly washing my hands and gargle, and I was wearing a mask, but I had a fever of over 39 degrees in the beginning of last month, and then I had an abnormality in my sense of smell.
About the symptom at the time, the woman said, "I had a high fever that I couldn't sleep at night, and my eyes were too hot. I had pains in my body and I felt like I had broken my bones. I was just worried whether it would heal or not, "he recalled.
In order to prevent medical collapse in Kanagawa prefecture, people with mild illness should, in principle, receive medical treatment at their homes or accommodations designated by the prefecture, and women with mild illness chose to spend their time at home.
Then, two weeks after the infection was confirmed, when I answered that there was no problem with my condition by telephone from the prefecture, the person in charge would wear a mask and take general infection control measures, and the next day or later. He explained that he should return to normal life.
In order for a person who is hospitalized to be discharged from the hospital, it is necessary for PCR tests to be negative twice in a row, but women who have been treated at home etc. are returned to their normal lives without a test. It's only confusing when you say, "This is the end for people with mild illness" after two weeks. I don't know at what stage I was cured and I think that I should never be passed on to people around me I can't get out and I have various problems in my life. "
Women still stand by voluntarily at home and have not been able to return to work, saying, "Once the infection has been resolved, it does not mean that people will be happy to let go. If the virus is still in the body, I think it is possible for an amateur to spread the infection and eventually lead to medical disintegration.I think it's best to go out after a patient with a mild illness is cured, so a test to confirm a negative test I think it's necessary. "
Kanagawa “Inspection conducted to discover new infected people”
In principle, people who are considered to have mild illness in Kanagawa Prefecture will be treated at their own home or at an accommodation facility designated by the prefecture.
It is said that health observation will be conducted for 2 weeks after confirmation of infection, and mild people will be instructed to take thermometry twice a day, and body temperature and physical condition will be reported by LINE etc.
According to the prefecture, if there is no symptom after 2 weeks, from the next day onwards the general infection control measures such as wearing a mask will be thoroughly taken back to normal life.
At that time, we do not perform PCR tests or interviews to check for symptoms.
On the other hand, an infected person who has been hospitalized for moderate or severe disease as well as an underlying disease needs to be confirmed to be negative by PCR twice in a row to be discharged.
About this, Kanagawa Prefecture says, "The test is carried out in order to find new infected people as much as possible, and at present, there is no test to confirm negative for mildly ill people such as home medical treatment."
