This month, more than 100 people were suspected of having heat stroke in Tokyo and were interviewed by the Tokyo Fire Department. We are required to wear a mask due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but I would like you to take measures against heat stroke, such as removing the mask depending on the distance to people and the temperature.
According to the Tokyo Fire Department, 121 people have been transferred to the hospital on suspicion of heat stroke since the beginning of this month in Tokyo and until the day before.
By age group, ▽ 70s had the most 39 people, ▽ 80s had 26 people, ▽ 60s had 12 people, ▽ 90s and above had 8 people, and people over 60s accounted for 70% of the whole.
By symptom, there were no "dead" or "serious" people, but ▽ 6 "severe illnesses" recognized as having a high risk of life, ▽ 51 "moderate illnesses" requiring hospitalization It means that
Masks are required to be worn due to the effects of the new coronavirus, but the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare want to take measures against heat stroke such as removing the mask according to the distance from people and the temperature.
In addition, the Tokyo Fire Department often refrains from going out as much as possible and spends time at home, so when the weather is hot, we call for an appropriate air conditioner to replenish water.
