Medical treatment for people with mild symptoms, etc. To start acceptance at a new hotel in Toshima Ward 21:14 on July 15
The hotel newly recruited by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will be accepted by one building in Toshima Ward from the 16th to receive medical treatment for people who are infected with the new coronavirus but are mild or asymptomatic. Infection is spreading in Tokyo, and we are planning to secure another hotel in Tokyo next week.
Tokyo has been renting a hotel for treating mild or asymptomatic people who have been diagnosed as having no need to be hospitalized since April this year, and was looking for an additional hotel operator last month. It was.
As a result, acceptance was started from 16th at one hotel near JR Ikebukuro station in Toshima Ward, and it was released to the press on 15th. This hotel has 175 rooms and can accommodate up to 110 people.
Tokyo has rented five hotels in Tokyo so far and was temporarily prepared to accept a maximum of 1,100 people, but four hotels have already reached the end of the contract or will reach the end of this month.
Currently, it is only a hotel in Hachioji city, and according to the capital, 109 people are staying at this hotel as of 15th.
Although the infection has spread in Tokyo this month, there are many younger generations who are asymptomatic or mildly ill, and Tokyo is planning to secure another hotel building next week.
Miho Kato, General Manager of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Health and Welfare Department, who is in charge of measures against the new coronavirus, said, "We want to operate the hotel so that people can use it with peace of mind so that we do not transfer the virus to important people."
