Saitama Prefecture has been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus, and has begun a so-called "delivery" initiative to deliver food to people who are receiving medical treatment at home free of charge.
People who have been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus and who have no mild or symptom will, in principle, spend time at a medical facility such as a hotel, but those who cannot be treated at a hotel because their family members need nursing care or have small children. Is recuperating at home.
As of the 17th, 66 people in Saitama Prefecture are receiving medical treatment at home, and from the 18th, Saitama Prefecture has begun efforts to deliver food to these people free of charge.
We deliver 3 to 5 days' worth of food such as rice, pasta, retort pouch foods, and jellies.
In order to prevent infection, the delivery company requested by the health center does not hand it over, but delivers it by "delivery" that is left at the front door.
In addition to food products, we will also deliver menus for eating a well-balanced meal and equipment for measuring oxygen concentration in the blood in case of sudden changes in the condition.
Saitama Prefecture has a budget of more than 130 million yen, including delivery costs, assuming about 2,200 people.
