Established a manual to prevent the spread of corona infection at evacuation centers in Osaka Prefecture June 3: 17:04

Osaka Prefecture has developed a new manual to prevent the spread of new coronavirus in evacuation shelters in the face of heavy rains and typhoons. It is designed to secure distance for each family so that it does not become "three-crowded" and to utilize accommodation facilities in addition to designated shelters.

Regarding evacuation shelters in the event of a disaster, it has been pointed out that the concentration of people who have evacuated may lead to the spread of the new coronavirus.

For this reason, Osaka Prefecture has created a new manual for municipalities within the prefecture, and Governor Yoshimura announced at a press conference on the 3rd.

According to the manual, if the evacuation is for a short period of time, separate the sections with tape to secure a distance of 1 meter or more for each family unit so that it does not become "3 dense", and if the evacuation is for a long period of time, adults should sit down I am asking you to install a partition higher than your mouth.

In addition to the designated evacuation shelter, it is also possible to utilize the second floor of your home, relatives and acquaintances' homes, accommodations such as hotels and inns, and empty classrooms at schools.

In addition, the public health center is also required to secure an evacuation site for people who are determined to be positive and who are receiving medical treatment at home or those who have concentrated contacts.

Governor Yoshimura said, "We made a manual with particular attention to securing various evacuation centers. We would like to prepare for it by conducting training and training with the municipalities."
