A Comprehensive Yamanashi Guide to Coronavirus COVID-19 April 6th , 2020 May 8 th , 2020rev A comprehensive Yamanashi Guide to Coronavirus COVID-19 What is COVID-19? What are the symptoms? How does it spread? Who is at High Risk? Can I take leave? Government issued Guidelines When should I, and how can I consult a medical professional? HELPFUL RESOURCES April 6th , 2020 May 8 th , 2020rev What is COVID-19? COVID-19 is the new respiratory disease spreading around the world and it is caused by a coronavirus. COVID-19 is short for Coronavirus Disease 2019. The 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) often referred to as COVID-19 or more simply, the coronavirus is a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) that was newley identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Since the first cases were reported, the outbreak has rapidly spread through China and many locations worldwide. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can cause illness in both humans and animals. The illnesses brought about from the coronavirus have ranged from the common cold (ex. Respiratory syndrome, fever, cough, etc.) to more severe sicknesses such as pneumonia and severe acute respiratory syndrome . PLEASE NOTE: The virus that causes COVID-19 and the one that caused the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 are related to each other genetically, but the diseases they cause are quite different. SARS was more deadly but much less infectious than COVID-19, the SARS that may be caused by the coronavirus is a different strain of this so please keep this in mind. As of April 06, 2020 there have been over 1,270,000 in at least 180 countries and territories with the highest numbers being in America, Italy, Spain, China and Germany in that order. In comparison with other countries, Japan is relatively low on the list with only 3,654 cases, and 85 deaths. In our prefecture of Yamanashi there have only been 14 confirmed cases. April 6th , 2020 May 8 th , 2020rev There are three parameters to understand in order to assess the magnitude of the risk posed by this novel coronavirus: Transmission Rate (Ro) - number of newly infected people from a single case World Health Organization (WHO)'s estimated (on Jan. 23) Ro to be between 1.4 and 2.5. Case Fatality Rate (CFR) - percent of cases t hat result in death 3.4% Mortality Rate estimate by the WHO as of March 3 Determine whether asymptomatic transmission is possible As of now it has been discovered that coronavirus can be spread from someone who carries the virus but shows no symptoms. Thus many governments across the world have decided on a two week incubation period. However, there have been outlier cases such as people who left the diamond princess cruise ship after incubation, returned home and tested positive, as well as a case where someone tested postivite in China after 27 days. How does the virus spread? Droplets from coughing,sneezing and exhaling. The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth. People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick. As of March 9 th , the World Health Organization says the virus that causes COVID-19 doesn't seem to linger in the air or be capable of spreading through the air over distances of more than about 3 feet. However, there are experts in virus transmission said it's way too April 6th , 2020 May 8 th , 2020rev soon to know that and there have been multiple advisories to increase that distance to 6 ft / 1.8 meters. These droplets can travel only short distances through the air and either land on people or land on surfaces that people later touch. Stopping this kind of transmission is why public health officials urge people to wash hands frequently and not touch the face, because that could bring the virus into contact with the nose or mouth. Who is at high risk? Everyone is at risk of getting COVID-19, but some people are at higher risk of serious illness. Generally speaking, adults aged 65 and older and people of any age with heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes with complications (such as but not limited to kidney disease heart disease, and neuropathy) may be at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19. What are the symptoms? Fever, cough and shortness of breath. Cough , Shortness of breath and Fever (Yamanashi Prefecture asks citizens to take extra care if a fever of over 37.5 degrees/99.5F is developed) Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure. Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for April 6th , 2020 May 8 th , 2020rev confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. However, it is important to note that Coronavirus symptoms are expected to remain minor (similar to that of the common cold) for 80% of those infected. Similar to the infection prevention measures taken for a cold or during flu season, it is important for each and every person to follow the proper coughing/sneezing etiquette and to wash their hands. When should I, and how can I consult a medical professional? Those with a temperature of > 37.5°C(99.5°F) and have developed respiratory symptoms (no matter how minor) and have had close contact with confirmed Coronavirus infectees should contact your local Returnee / Exposed Persons Consultation Center. Those who fulfill the criteria suspecting them of the coronavirus will be directed to a dedicated specialist and move onto testing. If you have been to a severely affected region (such as Tokyo or Osaka), or if you have come into contact with someone who has, and have had symptoms such as coughing and fever; we ask that you make sure to wear a mask and contact a health center in advance. In order to protect the health and lives of Yamanashi citizens in the midst of the infectious coronavirus, we believe that it is important to prevent infection by spreading accurate information to help prevent confusion and reduce anxiety amongst the people. The Returnee / Exposed Persons Consultation Centers have been established with the intention of mitigating anxieties of any potentially infected persons who don’t know what medical facilities to go to. Essentially, first you must call your local center and explain your symptoms. If they decide that you meet the criteria to be tested they will direct you to testing center.

Make sure to carefully review your contract, and to also consult about emergency leaves. Temporary leave financial subsidies to prevent the spread of infection If you become infected or have come into close contact with an infected individual, you may be eligible for a subsidy. This system has been established to encourage those who have been infected or have come into contact with the infected to not push themselves and be able to take needed time off of work. Those who fall under all four of the following categories are eligible. 1. Persons whose domicile is located in Yamanashi Prefecture; 2. A Worker to whom the Labor Standards Act applies or an individual business operator engaged in business activities; This term refers to people who work and self-employed who receive wages from business establishments.Part-time jobs are also eligible. 3.

  • The Yamanashi Grapevine
    The Yamanashi Grapevine July 2003 Editor’s note Before summer’s heat saps all our energy, we went to visit two cities in Yamanashi. The first, Fujiyoshida, is probably the most famous place in Yamanashi as it is the point from where most Mount Fuji climbers start their long journey to the top. The second, Nirasaki, may not be as well renowned, but it might be known to some football (or should I say “soccer”?!) fans as the home of the high school where current Parma player Hidetoshi Nakata’s talent was discovered. On page 8, Geoff Wigan, an Assistant Language Teacher on the Table of Contents JET programme, takes us on a philosophical journey through his first year in p.2 Nirasaki City Yamanashi. p.4 Fujiyoshida City This edition holds a special meaning to me as it marks my last contribution to the P.6 News Spotlight Grapevine.

  • Appendix 2 Revision to the Operation Should the Planned Blackouts Are Implemented
    Appendix 2 Revision to the operation should the planned blackouts are implemented Based on the “countermeasures for electricity supply and demand balance during summertime” indicated by the government, from June 20 (Mon), we will revise the operation of the planned blackouts should we have to implement the planned blackouts. 1. Grouping of the planned blackouts (1) Future groupings and additional areas subject to blackouts In principle, there is no change to the groupings as we continue to use the same groupings we implemented this March. From now on, by revising the operation of the electricity supply route and the method to supply electricity to railroads, customers who were not subject to blackouts in March are, in principle, subject to planned blackouts. <exhibit 1> (2) Notification of the groupings ① From June 15 (Wed), we will indicate your group on the monthly “notification of the electricity consumption (meter reading voucher)”. You are requested to confirm. ② From today, you can search your groupings on our website (computer and mobile). In the past, there were cases that several groups were shown. We revised the website so that only one group will be shown. <exhibit 2> 2. Number and duration of planned blackouts We continue to change each group’s planned blackout time everyday. In order to lower customers’ burden by the blackouts as much as possible, we limit the number of planned blackouts to once in a day. We also shorten the duration from the previous three hours to “two hours between 9:30 am to 8:00 pm”. We will announce the plan for the number and duration of planned blackouts on our website from June 15 (Wed).
