Aichi Prefecture announced that it has been confirmed that 12,068 new people have been infected with the new coronavirus in the prefecture.
A total of 678,306 people have been confirmed to be infected in Aichi Prefecture.
Fourth vaccination at a nursing home
As the infection of the new coronavirus spreads rapidly, we are strengthening measures such as advancing the fourth vaccination at facilities for the elderly in Aichi Prefecture.
At the Himawari Residence, a facility for the elderly in Toyota City, 47 elderly people live while receiving long-term care.
As the infection spread rapidly, the facility was vaccinated for the fourth time on the 22nd, and contract doctors and nurses at the facility went around the elderly room to check their physical condition before vaccination.
In facilities for the elderly, the distance between staff and residents is close, and there are many elderly people who cannot wear masks due to dementia, etc., so once an infected person occurs, it may spread at once.
As of the 21st, clusters are occurring in 17 facilities for the elderly in the prefecture.
In addition, at the facility, it is also a big concern that the staff and staff who care for them become infected or become close contacts and fall into a labor shortage. People were also vaccinated.
In addition, we have purchased and prepared more than 200 test kits so that we can test immediately when infection is suspected.
Junko Aoyama, a nurse at "Himawari House," said, "I was a little relieved that I was able to inoculate the elderly for the fourth time. I want you to do it. "
