Regarding the grasp of the total number of people infected with the new corona, Ozaki, chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, said that it was a burden on medical institutions, etc. Isn't it one of the options to do so?"

In the new corona, based on the Infectious Diseases Law, medical institutions are obliged to report all infected people to public health centers, and the staff of medical institutions etc. are required to register in a system called "HER-SYS". I am in charge.



On the other hand, it has been pointed out that the input work is a burden on the site, and the government has indicated a policy of minimizing the input items for patients with a low risk of becoming severe.



Under these circumstances, Haruo Ozaki, chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, said at a regular press conference on the 16th, ``With the current number of infected people at a high level, it is hard to believe that the total number has been grasped, and it is already bankrupt. In the future, one option would be to change to fixed-point observation by some medical institutions.”



After that, he said, ``After all, all cases of people over 60 and those with underlying diseases should be thoroughly diagnosed, and they should be thoroughly linked to early treatment. Isn't it?" he pointed out.



In addition, in order to prevent the deterioration of the elderly and people with underlying diseases, the Tokyo Medical Association and local governments are working together to establish fever outpatient clinics in each region. While listening to the actual situation of the institutions, we need to cooperate with those with spare capacity, and it is necessary to distribute the cases mainly to those who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill."
