More than one person has been infected, and 64 people have been confirmed to be infected on the 26th.

On the other hand, in many emergency hospitals in the prefecture, in addition to dealing with corona patients, there are a series of medical workers who cannot work due to infection, etc., so medical treatment is restricted, and they may get sick or injured. However, you may not be able to receive treatment immediately.
