According to the people concerned in Hokkaido, a group of infected people has occurred at medical institutions in Asahikawa city and medical care is tight, so the government is finally going to dispatch nurses from the Self-Defense Forces as disaster dispatch. It means that we have started adjustment.
In Asahikawa City, Hokkaido, clusters have occurred one after another at medical institutions, and the total number of infected people is 217 at "Asahikawa Welfare Hospital" and 184 at "Keiyukai Yoshida Hospital".
According to the people involved in the road, the government has made final adjustments to dispatch a nurse from the Self-Defense Forces to Yoshida Hospital as a disaster relief dispatch.
The policy is to gradually increase the number of nurses to be dispatched to about 20.
Yoshida Hospital sent a nurse to Governor Suzuki in a document dated 25th last month, saying, "It is not a situation that can be dealt with at the medical association level in the city, and there is no alternative means other than the Self-Defense Forces." I was requesting the support of the Self-Defense Forces.
