As of Friday, September 9

The entire prefecture is a "BA.5 countermeasures strengthening area" Period: August 9th (Tuesday) to September 30th (Friday)

・Don't bring coronavirus to your family

・Don't infect your family

・As of September 8, when the infection does not spread in the family

Please thoroughly follow the three points on the right as self-help for each family!

Due to the outbreak of Omicron BA.5, the utilization rate of secured beds for corona patients is still high in this prefecture, and the medical care system is extremely tight .

Due to the strong contagiousness of Omicron strain BA.5, clusters have occurred at accepting hospitals, and medical staff at each hospital have been infected or have been in close contact with them, and have continued to take leave of absence from work . I am having trouble.

Due to the situation of medical institutions, there are continuing cases where it is difficult for ambulances to immediately transport corona and other emergency patients to hospitals.

*1 Number of ready beds (including the number of beds other than those secured for COVID-19) *2 Number of beds secured for COVID-19

In order to prevent further deterioration of the medical care system in the prefecture and to normalize medical care in the prefecture as soon as possible, a “Shizuoka Prefecture Medical Crisis Warning” has been issued.

I would like to ask the citizens of the prefecture to continue to cooperate by refraining from activities that pose a high risk of infection .

1Request for proper medical examination

Those under the age of 60 who have been vaccinated and have no underlying diseases have a low risk of becoming severely ill with the Omicron strain . . We ask for your cooperation so that the elderly, those with underlying diseases who are more likely to become seriously ill from COVID-19, and those with emergencies other than COVID-19 can receive medical care promptly.

2 Requests to refrain from going out unnecessarily and non-urgently

Regardless of your age or the risk of aggravation , please refrain from going out to crowded places or places where the risk of infection is high . In addition, those who have judged themselves to be at risk of becoming severe, those who have opportunities to come into contact with people who are at risk of becoming severe, those who want to avoid infection as much as possible due to work or family circumstances, those who have a fever If you have subjective symptoms such as sore throat, please refrain from going out unless it is absolutely necessary.

3 Request to wear appropriate masks during conversations and meals

At BA.5, the highest level of contagion ever, there is a high risk that conversation without a mask = (equals) infection. Please only talk or eat with your family without a mask, and be sure to wear a mask when talking to people other than your family, and be sure to have a mask at dinner . If you can't have a mask dinner when you get drunk, please have a non-alcoholic one.

4Request for vaccination

Those aged 5 and over who have not been vaccinated, those aged 12 and over for the third dose, and those aged 60 or over or under 60 with underlying diseases who are eligible for the fourth dose but have not yet completed the vaccination, Please inoculate as soon as possible.

Efforts that we would like citizens and businesses to take concretely

To all citizens of the prefecture ("self-help" efforts)

○ Appropriate examination

・For those under the age of 60 who do not have underlying diseases and have been vaccinated, it is a disease that can be cured naturally with rest at home and over-the-counter medicines. Please prepare cough medicine and fever reducer in advance .

・In order not to delay medical treatment for people who urgently need emergency medical care , refrain from visiting a doctor at night or on holidays if you only have mild cold symptoms. Please give me.

(If you are concerned about your child's symptoms, please call #8000 (Shizuoka Children's Emergency Telephone Consultation) as necessary.)

・Emergency medical care is very tight, so please be careful of accidents such as water accidents and traffic accidents, and use air conditioning appropriately to avoid heatstroke .

○ Precautions when traveling or going out

・Reconsider the necessity of going out to places where there is a high risk of infection due to frequent contact with other people, or visiting places where there are people with a high risk of becoming seriously ill, and refrain as much as possible .

・When going out, please be careful about actions that pose a high risk of infection at the place you visit, avoid visiting crowded places, wear a non-woven mask, wash your hands, disinfect your hands, and thoroughly ventilate the room.

○Wearing a mask

・When eating and drinking, take off your mask and talk only with your family , do not talk with other people when eating, and be sure to wear a non-woven mask when talking.

・Especially when talking with a large number of people for a long time, please ensure that everyone wears a non-woven mask . Without frequent ventilation, the risk of infection increases due to the high infectivity of BA.5.

・In order to prevent heat stroke, " masks are not required outdoors unless there are other people around " and " pre-school children do not need masks in principle ".

・Please carry a mask with you at all times so that you can put it on and take it off properly .

○ Early vaccination

・The side effects of Novavax vaccines for the third time tend to be less than those of Pfizer and Moderna. If you have refrained from taking the third vaccination due to adverse reactions, please consider Novavax vaccination .

Adverse reaction frequency after the third vaccination of Novavax vaccine (as of August 30)

To all business operators (Efforts for “mutual assistance”)

○ Efforts at business sites

・Businesses should thoroughly implement basic infection prevention measures in their workplaces and stores, especially enforcing ventilation , take infection prevention measures when changing places of residence , work from home, staggered commuting times, etc. Please continue to take measures to prevent infection, such as reducing the number of cases.

○ Efforts at schools, etc.

・Thoroughly implement basic infection prevention measures such as wearing a mask at schools and daycare centers, and try to avoid activities that pose a high risk of infection.

・If staff members, children, or students have cold symptoms, please refrain from club and extracurricular activities, take over-the-counter medicine (cough medicine, antipyretic, etc.), and rest at home.

○ Efforts at welfare facilities, etc.

・Business operators of welfare facilities, etc. are requested to cooperate in the early detection of positive cases by conducting regular tests once a week using the simple antigen qualitative kit distributed by the prefecture .

○ Notes on events

・Organizers of events should thoroughly implement basic infection prevention measures such as avoiding the 3Cs, create a list of participants, and use the contact-confirming app “COCOA” to understand the participants. Please try to

・When holding an event with more than 5,000 participants and a capacity rate of more than 50%, please submit an “infection prevention and safety plan” that describes specific infection prevention measures to the prefecture.

・Encourage participants to wear masks during conversations and crowded situations at the event.
