Director Suzuki (center) et al. Explaining the death of a man who was receiving medical treatment at home = at the Sagamihara City Hall
The city of Sagamihara announced on the 25th that a man in his 90s died who had been infected with the new coronavirus and was receiving medical treatment at home. My wife, who lives with me, got infected first and was hospitalized, so she spent time alone at home. The cause of death is under investigation.
According to the city health center, the man was infected by his wife who lived with him and had a PCR test, which was positive on day 20. Although he has a basic disease of the digestive system, he is asymptomatic and does not comply with Kanagawa prefecture hospitalization standards, and you do not want to be hospitalized, check your safety and symptoms. I confirmed by phone on the morning of the 23rd that there were no symptoms.
On the evening of the same day, a family member of a man who lived nearby contacted me complaining of suffocation, but was informed shortly after that his respiratory condition was stable and decided that he did not need to be hospitalized immediately. ..
The man did not answer the phone on the morning of the 24th, but heard from his family that he was “breathing, but his symptoms were not bad.” The man did not answer the phone in the afternoon and the family said, “I cannot contact the man,” so a staff member visited his family and home and found a man who was unconscious and collapsed. The man was later confirmed dead.
A medical device “pulse oximeter” that can measure the oxygen concentration in the blood was rented to men in the prefecture, but it was not used because they did not know how to use it.
Jinichi Suzuki, director of the city’s health center, said: “I took all possible measures.” “It was better to measure the oxygen saturation in the blood when I complained of suffocation.” The city will strengthen its monitoring system for elderly and home caregivers with underlying illnesses. (Shintaro Sota) On the 25th, it was revealed that a man in his 90s who was receiving medical treatment at home died in Kanagawa prefecture.
