The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said on the 10th that a man in his thirties in Tokyo was found to be infected with the new corona virus after returning from the UK, and two out of ten people who ate before the discovery they were infected with a variant found in the UK. He announced that it was understood.
When the man returned to Japan on the 22nd last month, he tested negative in the airport quarantine and was eating and drinking with 10 people during the 14-day health observation period that was required just in case.
The ministry asks returnees for the period of health observation, assuming an error in judgment in the quarantine of the airport. A ministry official said: “It is a pity that we have to abstain from dinners during the health observation period.”
The man tested positive on the 29th of last month. It has not been confirmed as a variant by analysis of the national genome. However, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Welfare believes that the two confirmed variants were infected by this man.
They are both men and women in their twenties living in Tokyo and have never stayed in the UK. A man had a fever on the 30th of last month and was hospitalized on the 8th of this month. The woman has a fever on day 2 and is seeking hospital.
In addition, a man in his twenties living in Tokyo who returned from the UK, who has nothing to do with a thirty-something, also tested negative at the airport, but when he voluntarily took a private test, it came back positive. A more detailed analysis revealed a variant. (Yasushi Inoue)
