Iwate Prefecture, the smallest confirmed infection To expand the system for accepting corona patients November 12, 20:58

Even in Iwate Prefecture, which has the lowest number of confirmed infections with the new coronavirus in Japan, eight people were confirmed to be infected on the 11th, which is the largest number in a day. I decided to do it.

In Iwate Prefecture, it was confirmed on the 11th that eight new people were infected with the new coronavirus, two clusters occurred at the fire department and restaurants in Morioka City, and one person was confirmed to be infected on the 12th. I did.



At the countermeasures meeting held by the prefecture on the 12th, it was reported that currently 15 people are hospitalized at medical institutions in the prefecture, the age group is relatively young, and the beds are not tight at present.



However, as the number of patients increasing at this pace could be straining, we decided to start operating one accommodation facility from this weekend as a medical treatment destination for people with mild or asymptomatic symptoms.



In addition, it has been pointed out that the virus may become more prevalent in winter when the temperature and humidity are low, so we decided to subsidize the cost of installing a humidifier at restaurants.

Governor Tasso, who attended the meeting, said, "I would like to thank the patients and their related parties for their compassion and the provision of services that are indispensable to the citizens of the prefecture, such as medical institutions."

“I'm worried about less tension than in early spring” “Tighten my mind and take measures against infection”

A woman in her twenties in Morioka said, "I was surprised that the cluster happened near me. I am worried because I feel that the tension that I had in early spring has disappeared."



In addition, a man in his thirties said, "Because I have three children, if I get infected, it will bother my family and the company. I am scared because people are moving actively due to GoTo campaign etc." I did.



A man in his 50s said, "I was disappointed when I heard that the clerk at the restaurant where the cluster occurred did not wear a mask. I have to take this opportunity to take this opportunity to tighten my mind and take thorough measures against infection. I was talking.
