Smart119 Inc. (Head office: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; President/CEO: Taka-aki Nakada), a Chiba University-launched venture company that uses technology to change the current "119" and "medical care", has released an easy-to-understand manga explaining the symptoms of the latest version of coronavirus, written by its CEO Nakada, who is also an active emergency and intensive care physician.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has added six new symptoms to the COVID-19 list: chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and the appearance of loss of taste or smell.
Our CEO, Taka-aki Nakada (Professor of Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine at Chiba University), who compiles this information and works as an emergency and intensive care physician on the front line, explained the symptoms of the latest version of the coronavirus in a manga so that the general public can understand.

In our company, we have a team of medical experts, including our CEO, paramedics and nurses etc.
We hope to continue to provide easy-to-understand explanations for medical professionals and the general public.
