Please be informed that additional infectious disease patients were newly revealed about the occurrence of novel coronavirus infectious disease patients in the Akita-Noshiro offshore wind power, “AOW” project.

PCR tests were performed again to the onboard workers who appealed their deteriorating health condition although their first tests performed on August 23 were all negative. As a result, additional 1 worker (31 in total) was revealed to be positive on September 1.

Onboard workers both test positive and negative completed moving to a quarantine facility and stayed there in quarantine under the direction of the public health center and parties involved. Their health condition is well cared and controlled.

AOW will continue to do further efforts to take disease control measures, which involve the action history survey and isolation of all patients to prevent further spread of infection, and medical screening for close contacts who might be identified test positive in the future, in cooperation with the public health center and parties involved.
