The Aichi Medical Association expressed a sense of crisis that if the pace of spread of the new coronavirus spreads further in a critical situation, daily medical care will not be available.
Before the year-end and New Year holidays, the Aichi Medical Association held a press conference in Nagoya.
Among them, Chairman Mitsuaki Saeki said, "The pace of the spread of the new coronavirus infection in Aichi Prefecture is in a critical situation. If it spreads further, daily medical care will not be available and emergency patients will have to be refused in some cases. "It will come," he said, expressing a sense of crisis about the increasing number of infected people.
Furthermore, in order to secure a bed for the situation where more than half of the acceptable beds in the prefecture are asymptomatic or mildly ill, elderly people and people who have no symptoms even if they have an underlying disease are at home. He expressed his intention to request the prefecture to review the hospitalization standards in the future, such as observing the progress and treating those who have subsided after hospitalization from the hospital and receiving medical treatment at home.
