A population of people infected with the new coronavirus killed 17 people, and a patient who was hospitalized after being diagnosed with another disease at a press conference walked around the hospital without wearing a mask. He explained that it seems that many infected people have occurred.
At the prefectural Chubu Hospital, a priority medical institution for the new coronavirus in Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture, a cluster of infected people occurred in the hospital on the 10th of last month.
The hospital held a press conference on the 1st and announced that a total of 51 people, including 36 inpatients and 15 staff members, had been infected, of which 17 were dead.
