On the night of the 7th, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare notified prefectures of their specific ideas regarding the review of the medical treatment period for patients infected with the new coronavirus.
Of these, regarding the review of the treatment period, those who have symptoms can be canceled from the 8th day after 7 days have passed since the day after the onset of symptoms and 24 hours have passed since the symptoms became lighter.
However, since the risk of infection remains until 10 days have passed, we ask that you take thorough measures to prevent infection, such as avoiding contact with the elderly and eating together.
For asymptomatic people, if the test kit tests negative on the 5th day, they can be released from the 6th day, and the infection risk remains until the 7th day, so please take thorough infection prevention doing.
For those who are hospitalized or in a facility for the elderly, it is the same as before. You can remove it from the first day.
In addition, regarding the review of refraining from going out during the medical treatment period, on the premise that people who have had symptoms for 24 hours or who have no symptoms should wear a mask instead of using public transportation for a short period of time. We are going to allow the minimum necessary outing, such as grocery shopping.
