Even at the end of the year, the spread of the new coronavirus has not stopped, and the number of hospitalized patients continues to increase.
Even on the 31st of New Year's Eve, hard treatment continues as the bed is tight.
At Kyorin University Hospital in Mitaka City, Tokyo, new patients are being brought in on the 31st of the end of the year, mainly treating moderately and severely ill patients who need to be hospitalized.
The beds that accept corona patients have been almost full since last month, and a medical team specializing in the new corona is working during the year-end and New Year holidays.
In the ward, doctors and nurses checked the health condition of patients who were hospitalized and asked, "Is there any change in your physical condition?" And treated them.
In particular, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve, it is expected that the number of medical institutions that provide medical care will decrease, so there is a risk that patients who need emergency response and mildly ill patients who have visited clinics will concentrate at the hospital. I am becoming more vigilant when there is.
Daisuke Kurai, Dean of the Department of Infectious Diseases, Kyorin University Hospital, said, "Originally, there are many myocardial infarctions and cerebral infarctions in winter, and it is very difficult to deal with corona in addition to such patients. It is very difficult to maintain the system because the condition continues. In the future, if the number of patients increases, we will have to limit the usual medical care again, so I hope that everyone's cooperation will somehow stop the infection. " ..
