The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is not using the system for centrally managing the data of new coronavirus infected persons, so the policy is to proceed with improvements by listening to the requests from the local governments.
Due to the spread of new coronavirus infection, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare began operating a centralized management system from the end of May to share data such as the names of people who have undergone PCR testing and test results with local governments and medical institutions across the country. It was.
However, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, as of the 22nd, out of 155 local governments with public health centers, about 30 in Tokyo and Osaka are not using it.
It is said that in some of these municipalities, it takes time to switch the system, and there are also concerns about the handling of personal information of infected persons.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has begun to consider measures with a work team of experts of infectious diseases and directors of public health centers, who want to establish a national management system as soon as possible.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has a policy of promoting improvements by listening to the requests of the local governments who input data, and we would like to urgently introduce a system that allows the local governments to use the data for cluster measures.
