The metropolitan area screening office, which looks for asymptomatic infections in advance, will work for another two weeks until the 17th. Taking into account the fatigue of the medical personnel on site, the operating time will be reduced and the number of laboratories will be adjusted. Connect with reporters on the site. Reporter Son Hyo-jeong! Temporary review offices are expanded and operated in the metropolitan area. How is the environment? Due to the cold snap that has hit the new year, the screening office is quite busy. The temporary projection office in the metropolitan area, which was originally up until yesterday, was operational for another two weeks as social distancing spread. Even if there is no history of symptoms and contact with a confirmed person, anyone can get tested for free until the 17th. So far, 188 inspection stations of this type have been installed in 153 locations in the metropolitan area and 35 locations in the non-metropolitan area. The quarantine authorities assessed that more than 2,000 confirmed cases were found in advance during the last three weeks when the inspection center of the metropolitan area was in operation. Yesterday, more than 23,000 cases were carried out and 137 people tested positive. There were 680,000 cases of PCR nasopharyngeal smear using a sample taken from the nose, representing 97% of anonymous tests. There were around 4,000 PCR tests of aliva samples using acupuncture points and around 12,000 rapid antigen tests that resulted in results in as little as 30 minutes. During the long period, the low-preference saliva PCR test is excluded from the test method. Taking into account the cold weather and the fatigue of the field workers, the operating hours of the inspection office will also be reduced from 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays and from 9 am to 1 pm on weekends. The number of inspection stations will also be adjusted for each local government according to inspection performance and site conditions. We plan to reduce the number of inspection offices in the metropolitan area from 153 to 144 and send additional doctors and nurses. In the midst of this, are there more cases of new group infections in the metropolitan area? A new group infection emerged at a regional children’s center in Gangbuk-gu, Seoul. The 20 who used this facility stayed here for 3 days on the 24th of last month, at which point the user and facility staff were confirmed. During refresher meetings with other officials, a high school student was also confirmed. Quarantine authorities have closed the facility and are conducting contact inspections. Infections are also showing up in facilities with many older people who are susceptible to infection. In a nursing hospital in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, a group infection was found in which 43 people were confirmed. Seven people, including caregivers and nursing assistants, were confirmed and given a full exam, and 36 more were infected in one day. The city of Incheon plans to quarantine hospitals in the same group and transfer confirmed patients to nearby hospitals in turn. Six more people were confirmed at Guro-gu Nursing Hospital, Seoul, where the outbreak has already occurred. With 4 patients, 4 residents and 1 worker, the confirmed cumulative number was 206. Eleven people were also added at the Wellness Center for the Disabled in Songpa-gu, Seoul, and the cumulative number of confirmed patients has risen to 71 so far. As infections continued in vulnerable facilities like this one, the government expanded all-inclusive testing so that workers at nursing and psychiatric hospitals across the country undergo diagnostic tests once a week.
