Prevention of new coronavirus infections
At Midtown Clinic, we are taking thorough safety measures against a new coronavirus infection so that everyone can visit with peace of mind.
Below is an overview of our safety measures.
◆Within the facilities

All customers will be asked to check their physical condition using the "Questionnaire about new coronavirus infection", measure their body temperature, and disinfect their hands by themselves. - ・Disinfection of door knobs, handrails, elevator buttons, etc. by alcohol in the reception area, dressing rooms, examination rooms (including medical exam equipment), and consultation rooms (desks and chairs) every time after use
- ・Opening the door of the entrance to the facility and installing an air cleaner and a humidifier
- ・Nurses and laboratory technicians wearing gloves, goggles, face shields, gowns, and foot covers when droplet infection is assumed
- ・Installation of acrylic boards to prevent droplet infection at reception
- ・Ensure a minimum distance of 1m from the customer as much as possible
-
We conduct upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (gastroscope) with thoroughly following the points below.
- ・To check physical condition before performing the test
- ・Combined use of regular ventilation, door opening, and air cleaner
- ・Alcohol disinfection of equipment and beds, etc. every time after use
- ・Ensuring distance between customers in recovery rooms

As respiratory function tests may spread aerosols to surrounding areas and spread the infection, they are suspended for the time being in principle.

◆Requests to customers
- ・Please wear a mask to prevent droplet infection (If you don't have it, we will give it to you.)
*In accordance with the directive from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, we also request that you continue to wear a mask at Tokyo Midtown Clinic after March 13, 2023.
*If you have symptoms and will not wear a mask, we may ask you to not visit our clinic from the viewpoint of preventing the spread of infection. We ask for your understanding and cooperation. - ・If there are any findings suggesting a new coronavirus infection in the CT examination or chest X-ray examination on the day of the consultation, we ask you to cancel or postpone your consultation based on the judgment of the doctor.
