In Chiba Prefecture, we are working to secure a logistical support hospital to prevent the strain on the beds by smoothly transferring patients who have recovered from the symptoms of the new corona.
However, according to the Kashiwa City Medical Association, the acceptance of patients has hardly progressed because medical personnel working at "logistical support hospitals" have heard voices that make them feel uneasy about infection.
For this reason, the Kashiwa Medical Association held a study session in the city on the night of the 7th, which brought together the directors of "logistical support hospitals" and medical personnel.
Among them, Dr. Masayuki Ito, who specializes in respiratory organs, said, "Patients with mild to moderate disease have almost no risk of infection 10 days after the onset. Patients do not need a private room, medical staff do not need protective clothing, and usually I think it's okay to deal with it. "
Satoshi Matsukura, Vice Chairman of the Kashiwa City Medical Association, said, "We would like to have patients who have completed medical treatment accepted at logistical support hospitals and secure a system for accepting new patients."
