The prefecture confirmed that the incorrect file was an excel file for all 495 infected people in the prefecture.In addition to the hospitals where the patients were hospitalized and the public health center where they were notified, the names of 396 people were also included. It was posted.

Normally, when posting the infection status etc. on the website, the person in charge deletes the personal information of the infected person from the file and creates a file for the home page, confirms it with another person in charge and posts it.
