Two maikos from "Gion Koubu," one of Kyoto's flower districts, were found to have been infected with the new coronavirus late last month. The two were already discharged, but the route of transmission is unknown.
According to the announcement of "Gion Shinchi Kobu Union", two teenage maikos belonging to the same yard shop complained of a sense of discomfort in taste late in the last month, and a positive test was confirmed. ..
Approximately 20 people, including maikos in the same storehouse and those in a hairdressing salon with hairdressers, had a close contact, but all were negative.
The route of infection is unknown.
The maiko symptom of the two is mild, and they have already been discharged from the hospital and returned to their parents' homes.
In Kyoto's Hanagai area, business such as teahouses has resumed since the 1st of last month.
At that time, we are taking measures to prevent infection, such as keeping a distance of 1 or 2 meters with customers and not refilling or swallowing.
The union announced the reason for the infection of two people on the 7th, "Hanamachi is a culture of "Ichigensan decline", it is not a place where an unspecified number of customers visit. It is not necessary to announce because it can contact customers. I thought about it, but since there were many inquiries, I announced it."
After that, the union will take even more thorough infection prevention measures.
