For example, adding virus detection sites and personnel, and using antigen detection in addition to conventional PCR detection, expanding relevant systems.
Regarding the medical care delivery system, experts also requested that, after a cluster of 100 people was conceived, a certain number of beds should be vacated to ensure facilities for the treatment of mild patients. In addition, support for facilities for the elderly and the disabled has been proposed, and checklists have been prepared by the prefectures to confirm the improvement status.
