Toei Oedo Line
It is very possible that the outbreak of the new coronavirus among drivers, which caused the thinning of the Oedo Line of the Tokyo Metropolitan Metro from late last year to 11 this month, spread through the bathroom faucet of the shared government building . It was revealed on the 14th by interviewing the Metropolitan Transportation Office. It was not a type of sensor that automatically flows water when you place your hand on it, but a type of tap that is turned by hand. In the future, we will consider replacing it with a type of sensor.
◆ Touch the tap with your hand with the saliva from brushing your teeth …
According to the Bureau of Transportation, a total of 39 people, including drivers using the same government building in Koto Ward, have been infected on the Oedo Line since December 15 last year. From December 27 to 11 this month, the number of trains on the Oedo Line was reduced to around 70% of the normal number. A conductor is staying in the government building in preparation for the crew of the first train. The public health center pointed out that “it is very possible that the infection is spread by touching the tap with a hand that had saliva adhered when brushing the teeth.
◆ Countermeasures are to “cover the tap with paper and touch it” and “disinfect hands and fingers thoroughly after use”.
As a further measure, the Transportation Office ordered staff to cover the tap with paper and touch it, and to thoroughly disinfect hands and fingers after use. Routine hand disinfection, wearing of masks, and installing acrylic plates have been done for some time.
A person in charge of the Transportation Office said: “We will continue to strive to prevent infections and secure operations.” (Joint)
