One MHLW employee infected with the new coronavirus 19:19, August 6

It was newly confirmed that one employee working at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare at Tokyo Kasumigaseki was infected with the new coronavirus.

According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, infection was confirmed in female employees in their 50s.

I had a slight fever early in the morning on the 30th of last month and was absent from work, so I had been treated at home.

This staff member is usually in charge of clerical work and has no opportunity to interact with outsiders.

In addition, it means that four employees of the same section were switched to work from home on the 6th.

It was the fourth person who was infected by the staff of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to be infected, except for those who were engaged in quarantine work for cruise ships.
