A 40-year-old man infected with the new coronavirus in Saitama Prefecture on July 30 repeatedly tried to leave Hanyu Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment, but was stopped by medical staff, Fuji Television Japan reported on Aug. 1. At 10 p.m. that night he broke the locks on the isolation ward and left through the staff corridor, during which time he also lied about being a relative of the patient, thus fooling the medical staff. After leaving the hospital, he took a cab to his home in Kasukabe City. However, his wife refused to allow him to enter the home and only gave him the car keys. The man then traveled to his workplace in Misato City. His family reported to the police on the evening of July 31 that he was nowhere to be found, and the side of Hasei Hospital, where he was found to have escaped, also reported the situation to the Prefectural Health Center. Police eventually found him at 9 a.m. at a spa.
He was admitted to another hospital after being found. When questioned about the reason for his unauthorized absence, government workers said he was worried about his work schedule and decided to leave. This is the main reason why he went to his workplace in Sango City after returning home. It is reported that the man did not have any close contact with others during the 10 hours he was away. The government has issued a public notice to investigate people who have crossed paths with the renamed man's movements to ensure that others have not been infected so that the path of infection can be cut off.
It's not the first time this has happened in Japan. On Aug. 8, a 50-year-old mildly infected man in Osaka checked into a hotel that admits mildly infected and asymptomatic infected people. On the second day, he defied government officials and forced himself out of the hotel on the pretext of looking for a permanent place to stay. After buying a pizza pie and making a trip to the post office and convenience store, he called the hotel. Returned to the hotel at the direction of government agents. The policy adopted in Japan was a passive epidemic prevention policy, and those who could generally be admitted to hospitals were those with severe illnesses, while there was no policy of mandatory quarantine admission for those with mild and asymptomatic infections. They can choose to be quarantined at home or in designated places for treatment. This is mainly because medical resources and beds are very limited.
Human beings are animals, and they have a sense of autonomy and a normal working life. However, when infected with the virus, all the rhythms of the past are disrupted. It is very difficult to adapt to the situation, not only the body will be tortured by the virus and erosion, but also the inner will be affected. When the isolation conditions in hospitals or hotels are unable to meet some of their simple daily requirements, they choose to flee for their own personal benefit, which is a way to disregard the interests of society as a whole. The man in Saitama who fled to return to his workplace wanted to take a bath, for one thing. The Japanese are notorious for their love of baths, which is a major life event that the hospital world obviously can't satisfy. The other guy actually left for a bite of pizza pie because the hotel people wouldn't let him. If the hospital and the hotel had been more accommodating, and the individual had been considerate, then there would have been no flight.
