While the precaution against the new coronavirus continued, staff members spoke about their difficulties when the elderly facility in Zushi town, where a group (a group of infected people) occurred in August last year, responded to the interview with a small number of people. . At that time, infected residents could be transported to the hospital, but now that the beds are tight, there is a high possibility that medical treatment will be required within the facility and there is concern that it will not be possible to handle it alone.

We interviewed Keisui one Home Yururito, a paid nursing home operated by the Keisuikai medical corporation. After an employee infection was found on Aug. 2 last year, it spread to eight residents and nine employees. The infection appears to have spread when the mask was removed while eating or bathing. No one became seriously ill and was deemed to have “converged” on the 31st of the same month, two weeks after the last infection was discovered.
Of the 28 employees, including long-term care staff, nurses and collection drivers, 10 infected have left the workplace. Ten support staff from the corporation and the prefectural welfare council were dispatched for one to seventeen days, but the facility staff had to do the night shift and the normal shift did not work. Even if the simultaneous test was negative, some people developed the disease several days later. Staff took measures against infection, such as wearing a medical mask and gown to aid excretion, and diligently measured the resident’s body temperature. Due to the ban on admission, he was unable to receive medical visits and responded online.
Looking back in time while looking at the list in August of last year Mr. Nishikubo = in Zushi Town
Ryoko Nishikubo (48), nurse and facilities director, recalls: “I did the basics, like putting on a mask. I had no choice but to protect the residents.” While there was discrimination, such as being asked not to allow staff children to come from nursery schools and high schools and to refuse to collect commercial waste, explaining to the residents’ association and the resident’s family, they said “speak good “and cooperate.” He was encouraged.
Ubukata, a 55-year-old general secretary of the corporation, explains that there are hospitals in the corporation and it is easy to get cooperation, and at that time the infected residents could be hospitalized and survived. Regarding the case of medical treatment at the facility, he noted that “the infected person’s flat will be divided into full-time staff, and a large number of gowns and masks will be required. There is a limit to the amount that he can handle alone.” . “Some staff may resign. Above all, it can be difficult to explain to the resident’s family.”
Some facilities have started preparations, taking over medical treatment at the facility for infected residents. At the end of January a workshop was held at the paid nursing home “Core Kita Kamakura” in Kamakura city, and Dr. Taro Hasegawa from Shonan Ofuna Clinic used the concept of zoning (division) and electric fans according to the guidelines of the Ministry. from Health, Work and Welfare, I told them how to use it for ventilation. Yoko Nishio, 69-year-old director of facilities, said: “It’s okay to know the infection at any time. I want to be ready to do it.”
