While we are becoming less and less vigilant about COVID-19, the flu season starts in late summer. Even if you think you have the seasonal flu, you may have COVID-19 with more serious symptoms and should take all possible precautions if you feel you are at risk.
To help you understand the difference between new coronavirus infections and flu, we have compiled materials supervised by Professor Taka-aki Nakada, President of Smart119, who teaches at Chiba University, and Lecturer Toshifumi Taniguchi of the Department of Infectious Diseases, into a manga-style illustration. The materials can be used freely in schools, companies, public institutions, etc., for example by printing them as posters or handouts.
Smart119 is staffed by medical professionals including paramedics, emergency medical technicians and nurses. In the future, Smart119 will continue to provide medical professionals and the general public with easy-to-understand explanations of the correct knowledge gained in the field of emergency medicine, with the aim of contributing to a wide range of medical services in Japan.

Note：Smart119 Inc. (Head office: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; President/CEO: Taka-aki Nakada), a company that develops and operates the emergency medical support system "Smart119", has published a comic strip on the "correct timing of alcohol disinfection" proposed by a staff member of the company who is an active nurse, in light of the outbreak of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
Even after the declaration of the state of emergency, the new coronavirus is not completely over. The key to avoiding this risk in everyday life is the timely use of alcohol disinfectants, which are highly effective and have only recently become available on the market.
On June 19th, NHK "Metropolitan News" (6:10pm~) interviewed our CEO, Dr. Nakada about Chiba University Hospital's approach to ECMO.

Our CEO, Mr. Nakata, appeared on TV Asahi's "Saturday Station" (every Saturday from 20:54) as the front line of emergency medicine, and commented on the concerns of summer and measures against heat stroke in the COVID-19 pandemic.
As masks are hard on the body, it is necessary to take them off and take a break after checking the surrounding environment and the distance between people
-Babies under the age of two who cannot remove their masks by themselves should not wear them as they may suffocate
-The risk of heat stroke is higher during the rainy season when the body is not accustomed to the heat, and is more common indoors and among the elderly
-When considering the necessity of evacuation in the event of a disaster, it is important to check the hazard map information in advance.
-COVID-19 related depression is an acute stress reaction that can occur in anyone. Self-care and organizational care are two important factors.
We assisted in the development of visualization of data from the Japan COVID-19 Countermeasures ECMOnet Database (CRISIS).
You can clearly see from the trends in the number of severe cases over time that the first wave is converging in each prefecture.
