Close contact definition

The National Institute of Infectious Diseases Infectious Diseases Epidemiology Center's "Proactive epidemiological survey implementation guidelines for new coronavirus infectious disease patients" states as follows. Shibuya Ward uses a similar definition.

Please refer to the following when judging close contacts at hospitals and welfare facilities.

Close contact selection target

• Even if both are wearing masks, care with physical contact has accumulated for more than 10 minutes
• If either person is in physical contact without wearing a mask or if there is a conversation within 1.5 meters
• If you don't know how to wear a mask
• Insufficient PPE (personal protective equipment) or hand sanitizer
• If neither of you is wearing a mask
• Prolonged contact (generally more than 1 hour) within 1.5 meters in an environment without two-way ventilation

Please refer to the following depending on the attributes of the positive person (staff, user, etc.).

If the user/patient is positive

• roommate
• Seating within 1.5 meters during meals
• Someone you know personally and are on good terms with

• A seat next to the person among the participants of the meeting held for 15 minutes or longer in a place without two-way ventilation

Management of close contacts

Please follow the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for infection control in the facility.
If you are selected as a close contact person, please take the following measures to prevent the spread of infection.

• The admission facility conducts PCR/antigen tests on all close contacts as much as possible
• If the first symptom is a patient or user and the route of infection is unknown, staff screening tests are recommended.
• Check body temperature at least twice a day for close contacts
• For users and patients who have been in close contact, if possible, keep a private room for 7 days after contact with a positive person (if it is difficult, avoid contact with non-contact people), and use PPE (personal protective equipment). do

Management of people other than close contacts

If you have contact with a positive person but are not a close contact person, we recommend that you observe your health for 7 days after contact.
