At a monitoring meeting in Tokyo that analyzes and evaluates the infection status of the new coronavirus and the medical care provision system in Tokyo, an expert said, "Currently, about one in 80 people in Tokyo is hospitalized, stayed, or at home as a positive test person. I am receiving medical treatment. "
On top of that, the percentage of inpatients is about 2% and that of overnight caregivers is about 3%, while the majority of those who are coordinating hospitalization / medical treatment with home caregivers are about 95%. He explained that the number of home care recipients is increasing.
"The number of medical treatments has far exceeded the peak of the 5th wave and is increasing further. At the time of sudden change, those with severe symptoms or those with a high risk of aggravation promptly visit a medical institution and receive appropriate medical care. It is necessary to improve the system and improve the accommodation and home medical care system so that the patient can receive the medical treatment. "
