Kazuka Inoue (40), an entertainer infected with the new coronavirus, described the symptoms at the time of the onset.
Kazuka Inoue updated the INS on the 23rd, recalling, "I noticed something strange in the middle of the night on December 27. I had been healthy before, and suddenly a chill struck. A lot of thoughts flashed through my mind, such as 'Where is the weird, is it...', in short, I immediately ate the cold medicine on the market. However, after 4 hours, the fever was nearly 40 degrees, so cold that I shivered. It's not a joint pain, it's a pain in the whole body that I can't sleep all night. An analogy would be like a severe flu. Although I was groggy during that time, I kept thinking 'if I was infected with covid-19, who I met would cause trouble for many people'"
The next morning, Kazuka Inoue conducted a flu test and nucleic acid test at a clinic where he often visited the doctor, "The flu test was negative. The doctor also said that he hoped to be positive before the nucleic acid test results came out, so I went home. Even at home, my family wears masks, and I avoid contact with them and sleep in the bedroom. Although there was physical pain, thanks to the antipyretic medicine, the body temperature returned to normal, and I did not expect to spend it so easily. ”
"But my daughter knew about COVID-19 but couldn't fully understand it, so she came to me." After I repeatedly reminded me that I was not allowed to enter the room, the tone became very poor. I was really sorry to see my daughter who was about to cry. Although she wanted to isolate, she had to cook for her daughter, so she made some simple meals such as natto rice and instant soup that didn't take much effort for her to eat. Inoue and Kaoru talked about the hardships of the family's isolated life with young children.
Kazuka Inoue was diagnosed "positive" on December 29 last year and has been on standby at home. However, on the 18th of this month, the firm announced that "after a certain period of observation, the physical condition has also recovered, and the employment restrictions have been lifted from the health center a few days ago, so it will resume activities."
