[사회]Temporary inspection office in the metropolitan area even during the Lunar New Year holidays … Changed to real name inspection from day 15

[앵커]

The Metropolitan Area Temporary Detection and Inspection Center, which finds people infected with corona19 in hiding, is also open during the Lunar New Year holidays.

In order to detect asymptomatic or mildly ill patients early, the quarantine authorities have decided to maintain the operation of the screening laboratory, which is scheduled to end on Sunday, until phase 2 of the distance.

Also, as of next Monday (15), the anonymous test will become a real name test.

There was a long line to receive an anonymous test for Corona 19 at the temporary screening inspection office in the metropolitan area.

To receive an anonymous test that continues even during the Lunar New Year holidays, you must first check the location and hours of operation by looking for “temporary detection inspection stations” on the Naver map or the Kakao map.

Since December 14 last year, 4,800 confirmed cases were detected early in more than 1.7 million tests through 131 temporary screening inspection centers in the metropolitan area.

This is equivalent to 12% of new cases in the last 8 weeks.

This prevents the possibility of a hidden and confirmed person lurking and spreading the infection without even knowing it.

The quarantine authorities evaluated this effect and decided to keep the detection test running, which is scheduled to end on the 14th, until the second phase of distancing.

Consequently, in step 2 or higher, if you have Corona 19 symptoms or have epidemiological associations and need to be tested, you can visit a screening clinic, and if you do not have any symptoms but want to be tested because of anxiety, visit a temporary screening lab.

However, taking into account the decline in the number of confirmed cases and the fact that the demand for testing has decreased and that existing screening clinics have the capacity to perform tests, some testing centers will be integrated and closed, and later will reduce.

Also, starting on the 15th, the anonymous test that was performed in the temporary screening test will become a real name test that collects your name, date of birth, and phone number.

This is for quick response, action, and efficient handling when a confirmed person is found.
