I heard that I was transported after my breathing condition deteriorated during medical treatment at home or at a hotel, or I heard that I had moderate illness, but when I was hospitalized, it was already Some patients are in a serious condition. As many patients as possible with the new Corona can be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible, which will help as many patients as possible. "

A state of emergency has been declared, but if it is not effective enough, the medical field will continue to be tight from next month to June. By all means, I would like all the citizens of the prefecture to suppress the flow of people as much as possible. "
