In Mikurashima, Tokyo, which has a population of more than 300 people, on the 9th, it was the first remote island in Tokyo to be infected by the village council chairperson. Three medical personnel on the island had undergone PCR testing.
According to the cities and villages, the result of the test was that all were negative on the 11th.
According to the village, four people, such as the mayor, who was heavily contacted by the public health center, decided to do their duties at home for the time being, and the village will continue to conduct health observations in cooperation with the public health center.
After 12th, the village will take measures such as handing out masks to all islanders, but since the island does not have a sufficient medical system, it is necessary to go outside the island unless it is unavoidable such as going to the hospital. We are asking the islanders to refrain from doing so.
We also call on tourists to refrain from coming to Japan.
The village said, "I was relieved that the result was negative, but I can't feel happy, so I want to continue taking measures to prevent the spread of the infection."
