Harima-cho and Kami-cho joined cities with infections. Patients reached 111 in Hyogo prefecture and 80 in Osaka.
Kobe-city stated that the baby girl had 38.9 degree Saturday night, was consulted at a high-fever consultation center Sunday, had a PCR test, took Tamiflu Monday and fever came down. She stays in her home. Her mother was PCR tested negative.
According to a report from overseas, babies easily have severe symptoms. A pediatrician says: ?Babies need sufficient treatments such as appropriate dose of Tamiflu.?
Kobe-city investigated 31 pharmacies in the city today. Masks were out of stock in 22 stores and antiseptic were all gone in 19 stores. As many residents had complained that they could not buy masks, Mayor, Tatsuro Yada sent to PM Aso a letter requesting to direct associations of manufacturers for constant supply of goods.
