Tokyo Metropolitan Government "Do not be infected at home"

Regarding the number of cases of infection at home, a person in charge of Tokyo said, "When a virus enters the home, it is difficult to prevent the infection. It is important not to bring the virus into the home, because it does not get infected. I want you to take action.”

In addition, there are people who do not know whether they are infected, such as having no symptoms, saying, "When you talk to an elderly cohabitant, wear a mask and eat in small pieces instead of a platter or stagger the time. I want you to take measures as much as possible. If you think you may be infected, act and if you feel sick even a little, please see a medical institution as soon as possible.” I was talking.
