Infected by the new corona Atsushi Kataoka, a baseball commentator, decided to leave the hospital on April 24, 22:49
On the 24th, baseball commentator Atsushi Kataoka, who had been hospitalized since the 8th of this month due to being infected with the new coronavirus and playing an active part in professional baseball players such as Hanshin, announced that he was discharged from the video posting site.
Mr. Kataoka announced that he was hospitalized from the 8th of this month after being infected with the new coronavirus on the video posting site "You Tube" on the 14th of this month.
In this video, I was worried that Mr. Kataoka, who had a tube on his nose in the hospital room, talked with a breath that seemed to be painful.
Then, on the night of the 24th, Mr. Kataoka posted a video of 1 minute 50 seconds on the video posting site and reported that he was negative after two tests and was decided to be discharged from the hospital.
Mr. Kataoka said, "I am grateful to the hospital staff and nurses for fighting at the forefront of fear. While I was in pain, I was able to leave the hospital safely. Was really helpful, "he said.
And I called out to those who are watching, "I don't know where the coronavirus is infected. Everyone, please refrain from going out as much as possible and live a life that does not affect corona."
Kataoka is 50 years old from Kyoto Prefecture.
He scored 1425 hits and 164 home runs in the professional baseball teams Nippon Ham and Hanshin.
After retiring from active duty, he served as a head coach in Hanshin and is currently working as a professional baseball commentator.
