      In principle, patients are not allowed to go out of the hotel, and if their condition should suddenly change, they will be taken to a medical institution. Tokyo Metropolitan Government employees will also be on hand. Nurses, doctors, metropolitan government officials and hotel employees will not come face-to-face with patients. Kaori Okamoto, head of the department in charge of medical system improvement, plans to expand the program by gaining expertise in its operation. The metropolitan government has earmarked 6.5 billion yen in its fiscal 2020 supplementary budget to cover the cost of renting these hotels, disinfecting them, paying for meals and dispatching medical personnel. Toyoko Inn Co. of Ota Ward, Tokyo, was selected because it has a track record of accepting people awaiting test results at other hotels and because Toyoko Inn Tokyo Station Shin-Ohashi-mae is air-conditioned in private rooms, not the entire building.

          The Practical Application Development Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City) of the Fukuoka Industry, Science and Technology Foundation (Fukuoka IST, Hayara-ku, Fukuoka City) has developed a heating method for vapor deposition using induction heating (IH) as the heat source. In the future, the center aims to commercialize this method in cooperation with equipment manufacturers. The new method was developed for vapor deposition in the production of organic thin films, for which the center has abundant production know-how (photo). The characteristics and functions of the device have been confirmed by producing organic EL elements. The development is part of an effort subsidized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Regional Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration Science and Technology Promotion Project Subsidy (Regional Innovation Ecosystem Formation Program).
