Government Subcommittee Professor Tateda, Toho University "Situation where viruses lurk in the city"
Professor Kazuhiro Tateda of Toho University, a member of the government's subcommittee on countermeasures against the new coronavirus, said about the current infection situation, ``The trend of a gradual decline continues nationwide, but in some areas there is a decrease. With more than 30,000 infected people a day nationwide, the virus is still lurking in the city. As the number of people drinking and drinking increases and the opportunities for person-to-person contact increase, if we are not careful, there is a risk that the infection will spread and turn to an increase.It is necessary to continue basic infection control measures for a while." I'm here.
In addition, regarding preparations for a simultaneous epidemic with influenza, which is a concern in winter, he said, ``Fever patients will occur at a level of more than 500,000 people nationwide every day, and the worst case that outpatient treatment will be tighter than the seventh wave in summer. In order to maintain a system that prioritizes medical care for people at high risk of developing severe symptoms, those who are not at risk and are likely to have mild symptoms should be recuperated at home and sent to online medical consultations or follow-up centers. Corona can be tested at home with a simple test kit, but if it becomes possible to test for influenza at home as well, you can go to a medical institution or recuperate at home. It is thought that we will be able to make decisions more smoothly."
Regarding the Cabinet decision to revise the Infectious Diseases Act in preparation for the future spread of infectious diseases, Professor Tateda said, ``When the number of infected people increased explosively, there were not enough hospital beds, and the medical field Currently, the number of medical institutions cooperating with medical care has increased, and the number of hospital beds has increased, but there is a possibility that an even larger wave of infections will come this winter. It is important to have a system in which as many medical institutions as possible cooperate."
