Regarding the infection of the new mutant virus "Omicron strain" of the new corona, there are more than 40 male close contacts in Tokyo, which was confirmed as the second case in Japan. I am requesting that I enter the accommodation facility and undergo health observation for a certain period of time.
A man who arrived at Narita Airport from Peru at the end of last month tested positive at the quarantine station, and as a result of analyzing the gene of the sample, infection with a new mutant virus "Omicron strain" was confirmed.
This is the second case in Japan, and according to the city, more than 40 of the close contacts of this man live in the city.
Regarding the "Omicron strain", the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has stayed at an accommodation facility to observe the health of about 40 people living in Tokyo who were on the same aircraft as the first man in Japan, although the quarantine test was negative. I am requesting you to enter.
For more than 40 of the second male close contacts, the city is requesting through the health center to enter the accommodation facility and undergo health observation for a certain period of time.
The city intends to take cautious measures, such as assessing changes in physical condition, even if the quarantine test is negative, in order to stop the infection in the city.
