Regarding the medical care provision system for the new coronavirus, the Diet will hold a closing examination on the 4th, and it is expected that the ruling and opposition parties will argue over the pros and cons of the government's policy of providing home medical care except for critically ill patients.
On the 4th of the Diet, the House of Representatives Welfare and Labor Committee will hold a closing examination, and the ruling and opposition parties will ask questions about the government's policy that people infected with the new coronavirus should be treated at home except for critically ill patients.
The ruling party has expressed its understanding that it is a measure to give extra capacity to the sickbed, but has decided to ask for a polite explanation, saying that it is necessary to prevent anxiety about hospitalization and treatment from spreading among the people.
In addition, the policy is to secure human resources who can care for people who are receiving medical treatment at home and to establish a system for the utilization of new therapeutic agents to prevent aggravation.
On the other hand, the opposition party is thinking that if the number of home care recipients increases due to insufficient monitoring, the number of people who will die due to sudden changes in their medical conditions may increase rapidly, and in principle, patients with moderate illness should also maintain hospitalization measures.
We are urgently urgently securing beds, such as by setting up temporary medical facilities to ensure that those who need them are hospitalized.
