It has been announced that 130 inspection posts will be extended until the 14th of next month when the period ends (2.1-14).

Running a temporary screening laboratory also greatly increased the total amount of inspection.
The total volume of inspections in the metropolitan area during the last month was 1,722,000, 4.7 times that of the previous month (368,000). In addition, the number of tests performed in the temporary detection laboratory represented 64% of the total inspection volume of the metropolitan area.
Daebon Bang said: “The convenience and accessibility of diagnostic tests was improved through temporary screening tests in the metropolitan area, and the spread of infection to the community was suppressed by expanding the volume of tests and early detection of confirmed cases, leading to the establishment of voluntary temporary screening tests in non-metropolitan areas. There was a result, ”he explained.
Currently, 59 temporary screening tests are in operation in 9 cities and metropolitan provinces of the non-metropolitan area.

Half of the confirmed cases (49%) found in the temporary screening laboratory were those with epidemiological associations such as contact with previous confirmed cases, and they were counted that they voluntarily visited the laboratory due to infection concerns.
Therefore, to operate the temporary screening test in the future, “if epidemiological associations with the confirmed patient are confirmed, to avoid the delay (of epidemiological investigation) due to anonymous testing, first guide to the screening clinic of the local public health center and introduce a method of separation of the general asymptomatic testers. I will. “
Daebon Bang also decided to introduce a mobile questionnaire system that can be used for anonymous and real-name inspections, while each local government integrates and abolishes inspection offices in consideration of regional epidemic conditions and inspection results.
