The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to continue the subsidy for securing beds until the end of next month because the beds are still tight due to the new coronavirus.

Since December last year, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has provided medical institutions that have newly secured beds for the new coronavirus with 15 million yen per bed for severely ill patients and 4.5 million yen for other beds as personnel expenses. ..



In addition to this, in prefectures where there are areas where emergency declarations and "priority measures such as spread prevention" have been issued, 4.5 million yen per bed is subsidized, and in other areas 3 million yen is subsidized, and the deadline is now. It was extended by the end of the month.



According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, support will continue until the end of next month due to the ongoing tightness of beds in various places.



The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare says, "We would like to support medical professionals who are treating patients with the new coronavirus and continue to strengthen their acceptance of patients."
