■Living Q & A: What happens with my medical expenses if I’m diagnosed with COVID-19?
外国人暮らしのQ&A「新型コロナで入院した場合、医療費はどうなる？」

A few days ago, I met an acquaintance who has contracted COVID-19, and now I have a fever and don't feel well.
I have contacted my employer, and I am waiting for the results of a PCR test. If the result is positive, my company
says I will have to take time off work to be hospitalized for treatment. What happens with my medical expenses?
And what happens to my wages while I'm not working?

As the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has designated COVID-19 as a "Designated Infectious Disease" (shitei
kansen-shō / 指定感染症) (from 13 February 2021, classified as "Novel Influenza Infection, etc." [shingata infuruenza tōkansen-shō / 新型インフルエンザ等感染症]) based on the Act on the Prevention of Infectious Diseases and Medical Care for Patientswith Infectious Diseases (感染症の予防及び感染症の患者に対する医療に関する法律), medical expenses incurred during hospitalization are
primarily covered by public funds. If you are not hospitalized, but receive diagnosis and treatment from a visiting doctor at anaccommodation facility (such as a hotel) or at home, the amount of expenses borne by the patient is subsidized.
As for PCR tests, in the case of individuals deemed to require a test (or who have been recognized as a high-risk contact [nōkōsesshoku-sha / 濃厚接触者] requiring a test) at a medical facility entrusted to conduct the PCR test by the municipal government or
at a health center (hokenjo / 保健所), the fee for the test is basically free. (The user may be required to bear the cost of thedoctor's consultation fee, medical expenses not related to COVID-19, and other sundry expenses if hospitalized.) The exact amountof expenses will vary depending on the patient's condition and symptoms, and we are unable to speculate on what you might
expect to pay.
When you are unable to work for a long time due to treatment and recuperation from illness, etc., if you are enrolled in social
insurance (shakai hoken / 社会保険), or health insurance for employees, you can apply for accident and sickness benefits(shōbyō teate / 傷病手当金) for leave you are required to take after the fourth day. The amount received as accident and sickness
benefits will be equivalent to around two thirds of your regular wages. If it is determined that your COVID-19 infection was acquired
through your duties, you will also be eligible to receive worker's accident insurance (rōsai hoken / 労災保険).
Under the National Health Insurance (kokumin kenkō hoken / 国民健康保険) as administered by theCity of Nagoya, employees who have contracted COVID-19 (including individuals with fever and othersymptoms who are suspected of having contracted COVID-19) can apply to receive accident and sickness
benefits. For residents of other municipalities, please consult your local government office's National
Health Insurance counter to confirm what assistance is available.

residents is available in person or by telephone at the NIC Information Counter.

Nagoya City Archives 名古屋市市政資料館
As the official archive of the City of Nagoya, the Nagoya City Archives is an important resource forlearning more about the history of the city. But in addition to the displays of documents and artifacts
shedding light on the development of Nagoya, visitors can also learn more about the grand building's
former life.
Originally constructed in 1922 as the Nagoya Court of Appeals and District Court, the building functioned
as the center of justice of the Chubu region for almost 60 years, until the Nagoya High Court and District
Court relocated to Sannomaru 1-chome (Naka Ward) in 1979.
To preserve the building as one of Nagoya's valuable cultural assets, the City of Nagoya carried out work
to preserve and restore the building with the assistance of the prefectural and national government.
Designated an Important National Cultural Property in 1984, since 1989 it has been open to the public,
serving as the repository for the City of Nagoya's official documents.
Specifically, the parts of the building designated important cultural properties are the impressive
Neo-Baroque exterior of red brick and granite; the central staircase with its stained-glass windows, marble
pattern plastering and other advanced plastering techniques; and the beautiful decor of the reconstructedthird-floor Meeting Room. Restored to their original appearance, these features are a highlight for many
visitors. You can also take a virtual tour and explore the historic building without leaving the house.
Central Staircase

The Archives building was constructed in a style popular in the late 19th century known as Neo-Baroque, the characteristics of which are most apparent in thebuilding's central staircase.
Visitors can feel the Neo-Baroque atmosphere through such features as the symmetrical design, the atrium
between the second and third floors, and the rows of brown and yellow two-tone pillars.
At the top of the central staircase is an eye-catching stained-glass window. Looking closely, one notices two
different colored orbs to the left and right of the center, on a set of scales. These orbs represent crime andpunishment, and the notion that if one commits a crime, punishment will be meted out, and that justice will bedispensed through a fair trial. Adorning the ceiling of the atrium is another stained-glass window, depicting thedisc of the sun as a symbol of fairness and impartiality, another reminder of the building's former life.
There are four black pillars around the central staircase. The upper section of these pillars have the appearance ofmarble, but are actually colored plaster applied to resemble marble, a technique known as māburu-nuri (マーブル塗り), or marble pattern plastering. The pillars' lower sections are made of natural marble. By touching andcomparing, one will notice that the temperature differs between the top and bottom sections, the lower halffeeling colder. A number of other marble pattern plastered pillars and walls can also be seen.

Meeting Room (Restoration)

This room functioned as a meeting room of the Court of Appeals, playing
an important role over the many years that it was used. One can imagine
deliberations being made in this dignified setting as the upper echelons of
the legal establishment sought to determine important rulings. The interior
had been renovated several times over the years, but has now been
restored to its original appearance, based on surviving documents,
photographs and interviews.
One of the most outstanding sections of the building, the Meeting Room,
like the central staircase, is a designated Important Cultural Property.

Courtroom under Meiji Constitution (Restoration)

At the time, courts and prosecutors' offices were located in the same building, and courtrooms of this era
characteristically seated judges and prosecutors together. This is a restoration of the appearance of thisroom when it was originally used as the Second Courtroom of the Court of Appeals. Another distinctive
feature of courts of this period is the uniform headwear and garments worn by the judges as well as theprosecutor, the lawyer, and the court clerk. (Photo, top right)

Courtroom under Current Constitution (Reconstruction)

In contrast to the Meiji courtroom, the public prosecutor is one of the litigants, and judges are seated at thefront with the prosecution and defense seated on opposite sides, although the side on which each party
sits varies depending on the court. (Photo, center right)

Jury Courtroom (Reconstruction)

There was formerly a jury system in which citizens participated in court proceedings. This differed from the current lay
judge system in that jurors did not take part in determining the punishment of the accused. A jury courtroom
previously stood on the west side of the Archives building (the site is currently the car park), and this exhibit is areconstruction of a jury courtroom of the time. (Photo, bottom right)

Detention Cells

The detention cells were not used for offenders to serve their sentences, but rather as a place totemporarily detain suspects and the accused for questioning by judges and prosecutors. The
multiple-occupant cells were used to hold prisoners accused of theft and other relatively low-level
crimes, while those suspected of more serious crimes such as murder were held in the
single-occupant cells.
The cells are a little cool even in summer, even though they are located not in the basement, buton the first floor. Whether the chill in this part of the building is due to the minimal sunlight fromthe courtyard, or humidity from the former castle moat, or a filled-in pond beneath the building,has not been determined.

When: Open 9:00 - 17:00. Closed Mondays (or the following weekday if Monday is a holiday), the third Thursday of the month (or the
fourth Thursday if the third is a holiday), 29 Dec. to 3 Jan.
Where: Higashi Ward Shirakabe (東区白壁) 1-3

traveling around such places as
Matsuzaka, Ise and Takasago,
Banshū. Shōhaku's highly
idiosyncratic pictures, depicting
fantastic realms with powerfulbrushstrokes and brilliant colors,
are filled with both grotesqueLions (唐獅子図) (right side), c. 1764
and humorous elements,
Collection of Chōdenji Temple
making them endlessly
captivating. Details regarding
the first 30 or so years of Shōhaku's career remain unknown. By
that time, he had already established an individualistic style, andmade a name for himself throughout the country before returning
to Kyoto in his later years. Although there is a tendency to focus on
Shōhaku's bizarre expressions, the knowledge of Chinese culture
and waka poetry that is concealed in his works reflect the extent of
his learning. Toward the end of his life, Shōhaku toned down theeccentric aspects of his work, and devoted himself to more sober
depictions.
This exhibition, spanning Shohaku's entire career, sheds light on
how the artist's eccentric style culminated in a tranquil approachin his final years.
