In the background, the demand for nurses dispatched to medical institutions and vaccination venues where the system is tight has increased, and it was found from interviews with related parties that there is a shortage of nurses responsible for health checks at accommodation facilities. I did.
The capital has 16 accommodation facilities, including hotels for the treatment of mild and asymptomatic patients.
Although 3210 people can be accepted, only 1778 people are being treated as of the 13th, and since last month when the infection spread, it is about 60% at most.
At the facility, nurses are in charge of health checks and acceptance, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government asks a dispatching company to dispatch them, but interviews with related parties revealed that there is a shortage of such nurses.
In addition to the increase in dispatches to medical institutions where the system is tight, it is becoming difficult to secure nurses due to dispatches to vaccination venues and Olympic and Paralympic competition venues.
Since the number of medical treatments that can be handled by one nurse is limited, we cannot increase the number of nurses accepted, so the city wants to hurry to secure nurses.
