The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced on April 29 that it confirmed that women in their forties in Osaka had been infected with the new coronavirus. The woman was on a tour guide and was on a bus operated by a man in Nara Prefecture, who was confirmed infected on Wednesday, serving as a tour guide for tourists from Wuhan.

　According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the woman became feverish on the 20th and consulted a medical institution in Tokyo. The fever continued, and she visited another medical institution on the 21st, but she was followed up without any symptoms of pneumonia. On 23, she consulted a health center because her condition did not improve, and when she visited a medical institution in Osaka Prefecture, she was hospitalized for pneumonia. Currently, she has only cough, but she continues to be hospitalized.
