The hospital down the street has announced it has a cluster of Covid-19 diagnoses. 9 to be exact, including 7 nurses and 2 patients. The infections were diagnosed between April 17th through 20th.
They've closed their doors to outpatient and emergency patients, but the fact of the matter is that hundreds of people could have been exposed. They are currently tracking down 70 patients to test them for the virus.
I had to pass by the hospital on the way to the store today. They have tents set up outside. I've been told they are for Covid-19 screenings.
With a deep breaths, and extra hand washings, we just have to continue on. We will continue isolating and doing our best to avoid this nasty virus.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
