Tokyo accepts medical treatment at three more hotels New Corona July 28, 20:49
Tokyo will begin accepting three more hotels later this month to seek treatment for people who are infected with the new coronavirus but who are mild or asymptomatic.
From 29th, we will start accepting two new hotels in Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo and in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
From 31st, we accept one hotel in Minato Ward.
Of these, a hotel in Kabukicho has a thermometer for observing the health of patients and a device for measuring the oxygen concentration in the blood, and doctors and nurses are on standby in case of sudden changes in physical condition. ..
The city was temporarily set up to accommodate up to 1,100 people at a total of five hotels in Tokyo, of which four hotels will either expire their contracts or expire by the end of this month.
Currently, we are accepting hotels in Hachioji City, Toshima Ward, and Koto Ward, and if three hotels are added this month, a total of 6 hotels can accommodate up to 1260 people. is.
Continued to have more home care than hotels
According to the city, 212 people are recovering at the hotel as of the 27th in Tokyo.
On the other hand, the number of people who are receiving medical treatment at home is 2.27 times as many as 483 people.
Since the 10th of this month, the number of people who receive medical treatment at home has continued to exceed that of medical treatment at hotels, and home medical treatment is more than double that of hotels on most days.
The Tokyo metropolitan government basically requests medical treatment at a hotel that does not spread to family members and when nurses can respond when the condition suddenly changes, but medical treatment at home is necessary due to family circumstances such as nursing care and childcare. Is also possible.
Regarding the reason why there are many people who receive medical treatment at home, the person in charge said, "The biggest reason is the circumstances of each family, but it is also considered that the temporary reduction in the number of people accepted at the end of the hotel contract also had an impact. People who are asymptomatic or have asymptomatic symptoms have only a few days left to treat when they are found to be infected, and in some cases they may choose home.”
However, in Tokyo, cases of domestic infections have been reported one after another, and on the 27th, the most common person who was confirmed as a concentrated contact person was the infection at home.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has not confirmed whether there is a specific case of infection caused by home medical treatment, but ``Because home medical treatment may lead to infection at home, please patiently treat at the hotel. I am going."
Tokyo "I want to try to secure it while considering the infection situation"
Yuki Hanamoto, director of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Health and Welfare Department, who is responsible for new coronavirus measures, said, ``If more than 200 or 300 infected people continue to appear, the number of people who will receive medical treatment will increase. I want to do my best."
In addition, regarding that there are more people who receive medical treatment at home than those who receive medical treatment at the hotel, "If some of the people who are recovering at home wish to receive medical treatment at the hotel, it is possible to enter as early as one day. I would like to respond to."
