Corresponding challenges and September 10, 22 at 47 minutes to review this month in the prospect to put together to the corona-infected persons

For those infected with the new coronavirus, we are currently recommending hospitalization based on the Infectious Diseases Control Law, and measures are being taken to investigate the infection route of all.

This correspondence of the issues and review meeting of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to consider experts about is opened, now that the future of policy in the prospect of the end of this month is compiled.

Since February this year, the new coronavirus infectious disease has been designated as a "designated infectious disease" and investigations have been conducted into hospitalization recommendations for infected persons and the infection routes of all, but many have no symptoms or mild illness. For this reason, the burden on medical institutions and public health centers that conduct surveys has become a major issue.

A working group of experts was established in the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to consider the current issues and review of future responses, and the first meeting was held on the 10th.

At the meeting, the government's task force showed a direction to focus on the treatment of severely ill persons, and as a rule, those with mild or asymptomatic points should be considered when they are treated at facilities or at home. Also, there was an exchange of opinions about how to deal with patients who have a fever and cough that are difficult to distinguish when the outbreak occurs simultaneously with the flu.

The working group is expected to put together a policy regarding future measures within this month, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare wants to start operation with a new policy in early next month.

Atsushi Kato "I want to make a conclusion as soon as possible"

At the beginning of the first meeting, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato said, "From the viewpoint that it is necessary to reduce the burden on medical institutions and public health centers, rather than canceling the designation of "designated infectious disease", the specific measures that can be taken. It is necessary to consider revising the Cabinet Order, including more detailed regulations regarding such measures. We would like to draw conclusions as soon as possible while keeping an eye on the flu epidemic.”
