In Tokyo, where the rapid spread of infection continues, the number of people receiving medical treatment at home exceeded 20,000 for the first time on the 12th.

While it has been pointed out that the medical care provision system is "severely dysfunctional," there is an urgent need to detect the deterioration of the physical condition of home care recipients and promptly deliver the necessary medical care.

On the 12th in Tokyo, nearly 5,000 infections, the second highest number so far, were newly confirmed, and the number of seriously ill patients counted by the Tokyo standard exceeded 200 for the first time.

In addition, the number of people receiving medical treatment at home exceeded 20,000 for the first time on the 12th.

The number has increased 11.3 times from a month ago, and there are a number of people who are forced to take medical treatment at home due to difficulties in adjusting hospitalization.



In the 5th wave of this time, there are already 3 people who will die during medical treatment at home, even if the city knows, and there are cases where the health center and the follow-up center of the city cannot keep up with the sudden change in physical condition.



Experts have pointed out that the medical care provision system in Tokyo is "severely dysfunctional", and while it is difficult to accept emergency patients, it is necessary to detect the deterioration of the physical condition of home care patients and provide necessary medical care. There is an urgent need to deliver it promptly.
