On the 4th, the city of Sapporo revealed that one of them died on the day of the health observation, which was not conducted until 6 days after the infection was found.
According to the city, my family contacted me that I had never received a health observation call, so I conducted a health observation through interviews with my family that day, but my condition suddenly changed immediately afterwards. It means that he died.
Although this infected person was listed on a list of people to be monitored for health, the confirmation work performed by multiple staff members was not thoroughly carried out and was not carried out.
In addition, when the city investigated other infected persons who were undergoing medical treatment at home for similar cases, it was found that there were two infected persons who had not been conducted so far.
Both of them have already recovered.
