As the new coronavirus infection spread in China, a Japanese man in his 20s who was undergoing clinical training at a hospital in Wuhan, Hubei Province, responded to an NHK telephone interview on the night of 26th. The man revealed that healthcare workers had already been informed of suspected infections about three months before the healthcare worker's infection became public in the media.

After graduating from a medical school in a Chinese university, the man was conducting clinical training at a hospital in Wuhan until around this month.

Although he had no opportunity to contact patients with pneumonia mainly because he had been practicing surgery, he had heard occasionally in the hospital about this problem.

`` Hearing that there is no concern about human-to-human transmission at first, we do not believe that the new coronavirus is dangerous, and no one assumes that the problem will be so great. There was no. "

A human being was informed of the possibility of human transmission earlier this month, saying, "Medical staff were instructed to wear a mask that responds to airborne infections. In the hospital, doctors and medical staff were told that they might have been infected, so we had to be careful. "

Number of infected people "felt much more than the authorities said"

In China, the healthcare worker's infection had not been publicly reported in the media until 20th of this month.

However, the man had already been alerted to healthcare workers that he was suspected of infection about three months earlier this month.

After that, the man was wearing protective clothing in the hospital and said, `` The story changed from `` I will not be infected '' to `` Possibly infected '' `` I was infected '', so as the situation changed, myself changed Have changed their consciousness. "

From the beginning, he felt that the number of infected people was much higher than the authorities said, "I think the number reported is less than it is. I was not in the respiratory department and I don't know, but everyone around me was like, "Isn't there that much?" "

Regarding the fact that Prime Minister Abe has announced a policy to return all Japanese applicants staying on the site on a charter machine, `` Everyone who is on the ground including me is uneasy and said, 'When will I return?' I felt that I was relieved that I could finally return when the policy was finalized. "
