Due to the rapid spread of the new coronavirus infection, the clinics in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo have been consulting with fever patients one after another, and they are also busy with tests to see if they are infected. I'm afraid that it may come out. "
At the "Global Healthcare Clinic" in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, a doctor specializing in infectious diseases provides general medical care such as internal medicine while examining and inspecting fever patients suspected of having a new type of corona.
On the 30th, with the start of the medical examination, there were a series of consultations from patients regarding the suspicion of the new corona.
According to the director, six people were tested positive last month on suspicion of the new corona, but this month half of the 16 people tested were positive.
On the 30th, a man in his 60s visited for fever and other symptoms, and as a result of examination, infection was confirmed.
The doctor created a notification that a positive person was found and told the health center staff that he might need to be hospitalized because of an underlying illness.
On top of that, I was afraid that if the infection spreads further, it could affect the general medical care provided at the clinic.
Dr. Yasutaka Mizuno said, "There are no factors that put a brake on the Olympics and Obon festival. We are very worried that our general medical care will be restricted due to the spread of infection and medical care in the town and regional medical care may not be possible. I want the vaccine to reach a wide range of generations. "
