About the medical treatment certificate associated with the nationwide uniform notification of new coronavirus infections from September 26, 2022

From September 26, 2022, due to the nationwide limited coverage of the notification of the outbreak of the new coronavirus infectious disease, medical treatment certificate (medical treatment information statement issued by Itabashi Ward Public Health Center and medical treatment certificate at My HER-SYS ) has been limited.

For those who have been diagnosed with a new coronavirus infection at a medical institution after September 26, 2022, those who fall under any of the following 4 types are subject to notification of outbreak, in principle. Medical treatment certificates cannot be issued to those who are not subject to notification of outbreaks (those who do not fall under any of the following four types).

As a general rule, those who are not subject to notification of the outbreak will be notified of the positive person registration center by the medical institution at the time of diagnosis. There is no contact from the public health center to those who are not subject to the outbreak notification. If you are unsure whether you are subject to an outbreak notification, please contact the medical institution where you received the diagnosis.

In addition, in principle, those who have been diagnosed with a new coronavirus infection at a medical institution before September 25, 2022 will be subject to an outbreak notification.
