Tokyo's health care woes deepen as COVID cases remain high

Nearly 1,000 COVID-19 patients who requested an emergency ambulance service in Tokyo during the first week of August were turned away by hospitals, the Tokyo Fire Department said Thursday, as record levels of coronavirus infections in the capital outstrip hospital capacity to treat patients. Of 1,668 people who were recuperating at home or designated lodging facilities and sought ambulance transport due to worsening of their condition, 959 could not be accepted at any medical institution, it said. Tokyo has been under a fourth COVID-19 emergency since July 12, but the resurgence of infections shows no sign of abating, forcing the government of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to set a new policy earlier in the month of only allowing people showing severe symptoms to be hospitalized to cope with a hospital bed shortage. The capital confirmed 5,534 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, the Tokyo metropolitan government said, the second-highest daily number following 5,773 reported Friday.
