Inoculation of COVID vaccines was administered to health care workers and elderly people first. At present, 90%+ of elderly population in Iwakuni is fully vaccinated.
Cases of cluster infection at medical or elderly nursing care facilities have been constrained due to vaccination. In addition, vaccination has not only helped health care system from getting overwhelmed but curb the number of patients with serious symptoms.
Recent infection status shows the rise of cases involving especially young generations. It should be noted that younger generations most likely are either asymptomatic or having mild symptoms when infected.
It is important to book an appointment at a medical facility immediately when you even have symptoms of seemingly a mild cold to prevent the infection from spreading to others.
When someone in the same household has symptoms of a mild cold, please practice the following measures to avoid the spread of infection to other family members.
〇 Every family member has to mask up.
〇 Wash and disinfect hands and fingers frequently.
〇 Ventilate room air at least once every 30 minutes.
〇 Disinfect fomites such as door knobs, faucets, electric switches, etc.
〇 Clean toilet and washroom frequently.
〇 Do not share towels, tableware, chopsticks, spoons, etc.
〇 Do not put toothbrushes in the same container.
〇 Sleep in a separate room if possible.
