On the 8th, Kanagawa prefecture became infected with the new corona virus, and a man in his 60s in Yokohama, who had been receiving medical treatment at home, died of pneumonia due to the new corona without proper measures, a despite the information equivalent to hospitalization. He announced that it was done. A man lives alone. A person in charge of the prefecture apologized: “The number of infected people has increased rapidly and the amount of work of the staff has increased.
According to the prefecture, the man tested positive on day 3. Although there was a picture of pneumonia on the X-ray examination, the man was mild and 10 days had elapsed since onset, so hospitalization and medical treatment were considered they were unnecessary according to national policy.
The city health center decided that medical treatment was at home and the prefecture set the period of medical treatment at 6 days.
At around 10 p.m. on the 4th, the prefecture confirmed the men’s safety by phone. The blood oxygen saturation was reported to be significantly lower than usual, corresponding to hospitalization, but there was no problem with the male response, and the prefecture decided it was a wrong measurement and decided to follow up.
At this time, it was said that he was omitted from the list of people to confirm safety.
On the 5th, the prefecture made a phone call to determine the end of the medical treatment period, but it did not go online and it was not on the safety confirmation list, so it did not think that it should confirm its safety even if there was no response. . A suspicious relative on the 6th visited a man’s home and found a fallen man.
In the future, you will double-check your data entry and create a new rule that seeks a physician’s judgment if oxygen saturation cannot be accurately measured. (Shota Shimura)
