Since the number of people infected with the new coronavirus is increasing rapidly in Chiba prefecture, we have decided to open a third temporary medical facility in the prefecture and call for its use.
On the 18th, Chiba Prefecture opened a temporary medical facility for patients who are at risk of becoming seriously ill due to chronic illness and need medication treatment at the "Nagareyama Citizens' General Gymnasium" in Nagareyama City in the northern part of the prefecture where the beds are tight. Accept patients from.
On the other hand, the prefecture has opened two temporary medical facilities in Chiba City so far, and of these, the second facility will be used for patients who also need medication on the 16th. At that time, it was less than 10% of the 110 beds.
The prefecture has decided to call on medical institutions to use it because it is not well known.
Takuya Iida, chief of the Health and Welfare Policy Division of Chiba Prefecture, said, "We would like to utilize temporary medical facilities to prevent aggravation and reduce the burden on medical institutions where beds are tight."
