Osaka City Health Center Found 92 dead in the past Confirmation is postponed due to tight work
This was revealed at a press conference by a person in charge of the Osaka City Health Center on the 28th.
According to this, there were nearly 2,000 people at 170 medical institutions who had not been reported to have been discharged after being infected with the new corona and being hospitalized at a medical institution.
As a result of checking the situation of these inpatients from the middle of last month, it was found that 92 people died from January 29th to March 24th.
The breakdown was 1 in January, 56 in February, and 35 in March, and the death toll in Osaka City was 2,185, including these 92.
Regarding the fact that the number of dead people could not be accurately grasped, the Osaka Municipal Health Center was delayed in confirming the status of inpatients by the health center due to the tight work due to the spread of the 6th wave of the new corona. The cause is that the report from the medical institution to the health center was leaked.
Koji Takada, Director of Infectious Disease Control Coordination, Osaka City Health Center, said, "I'm sorry that the investigation was delayed. In the future, I would like to actively work with medical institutions and strive for speedy understanding."
