Chiba Prefecture Omicron stock first confirmed Close contact person arriving at Narita
Governor Kumagai of Chiba Prefecture revealed at a video conference that a person infected with the new coronavirus "Omicron strain" was confirmed for the first time in the prefecture among close contacts arriving at Narita Airport.
The first confirmed infection with the Omicron strain in Chiba prefecture was a woman in her thirties who lived outside the prefecture.
The woman arrived at Narita Airport from Tunisia, Africa on the 15th of this month, and because there was a positive person suspected of being infected with the Omicron strain on the same plane, she entered an accommodation facility in the prefecture as a close contact on the 17th. Health observations were being made.
The following day, on the 18th, he was admitted to a medical institution in the prefecture because he had a sore throat and head, and as a result of genome analysis, infection with the Omicron strain was confirmed on the 23rd.
Women now have symptoms such as fever, but they are mild.
After entering the country, since he entered the accommodation facility after being quarantined at the hotel, Chiba Prefecture does not think that the infection has spread from this woman, and since the infection route has been identified, it is a community-acquired infection. It is thought that there is no such thing.
Governor Kumagai said, "In Japan, community-acquired infections have been confirmed and the situation is unpredictable. In anticipation of the next spread of infection, we will promptly maintain and secure the medical examination / examination system, hospitalization system, and health center system." I am commenting.

Governor Ohno of Saitama Prefecture said in a video conference, "In the prefecture, the number of newly infected people has been about one digit since late October, but in Ototo prefecture, infected people of Omicron strain have been confirmed, and it is infected in the city. We recognize that it is inevitable. Now that the infection is relatively calm, we should prepare for the threat of the Omicron strain. "
After that, Governor Ohno, who was interviewed by the reporters, said, "There are many close contacts with Omicron strains, and now they are in the accommodation facility, but if it increases further, it will be difficult. The government says that people infected with Omicron strain should be managed in a private room in principle, but since the medical institutions that can handle it are limited and medical care may be tight, please show a solid standard. " I was talking.
