As the spread of the new coronavirus spread and there was concern about the simultaneous epidemic of influenza, a clinic in Kita-ku, Tokyo opened a fever outpatient clinic and dealt with patients who complained of fever on New Year's Day.
At the Ito Oji Kamiya Internal Medicine and Surgery Clinic in Kita Ward, Tokyo, a fever outpatient clinic will be opened on New Year's Day and the 3rd to accept patients.
From 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on New Year's Day, a total of 10 people were treated, giving priority to children and pregnant women. It means that it was done.
Hiromichi Ito, director of the hospital, said, ``Now, of course, we need to be careful not only with the coronavirus, but also with the flu, and if it is left untreated without proper treatment in the early stages, it may become more severe. I went into medical treatment with the thought that someone had to respond."
Director Ito pointed out that not only the new corona but also the flu patients are increasing, and "while medical institutions are overwhelmed, the younger generation needs self-examination using test kits and online diagnosis and treatment. Also, since the risk of infection increases as opportunities for movement such as returning from a hometown increase, please be aware that you can be infected anywhere. I want him to be diagnosed and tested," he said.
