Thank you for your continuous cooperation in infection control measures.
Currently, COVID-19 infections have settled down, but medical institutions still need to take infection control measures.
Our clinic will continue to take infection control measures as in the previous years.
Although the government has left the wearing of face masks to the discretion of the individual, we ask that face masks be worn in our clinic.
After May 2023, when COVID-19 will be moved to category 5 infection, we plan to gradually loosen our rules regarding visits during hospitalization and other related matters.
We appreciate for your understanding and cooperation.
