Xiaochi called on medical institutions and others to strengthen response, adopt more effective testing methods, and actively improve epidemic prevention measures. For high-risk places such as restaurants where infections occur, Xiaochi called on stores to post reminder signs to strengthen epidemic prevention.

The two had an extramarital affair and had "test encounters" many times. After the incident was exposed, both of them strongly denied it, and even said that she and Hashimoto were only working contacts, and Hashimoto had their own "dating partner".This incident once again pushed the Abe government to the forefront.
