[앵커]Quarantine authorities regretted that there were 900 confirmed cases, right?
[기자]Sook-young Lim, general manager of the situation, said in a regular briefing today, saying that today is the day of the largest number of new confirmed patients, and regretted it as the quarantine authorities.
He said that there were many patients despite the situation severely restricting social activities by raising the distance in the metropolitan area to 2.5 steps.
It was diagnosed that the momentum was not reduced enough despite the continuous increase in distance, and that the effect of distance was not showing enough.
He also revealed that the 2.5-stage distance effect, which started on day 8, usually shows up after a week, so he carefully predicts that this number will continue to show up for now.
Furthermore, he explained that the third stage update will be discussed when the third stage update is needed while observing the effect of the 2.5 stage distance.
At the same time, he asked for two ways to act.
The first is to stay in a safe house.
The second is to cancel all in-person meetings.
[앵커]Quarantine authorities are expanding corona testing in the metropolitan area starting next week, and asked for the active participation of citizens, right?
[기자]The quarantine authorities introduced that starting next Monday, the citizens of the metropolitan area will be able to take the tests at the ‘Temporary Detection Inspection Office of the Crown Metropolitan Area 19’ regardless of symptoms or epidemiological associations.
About 150 are installed in stages from the day after tomorrow
It operates from 9 a.m. M. At 6 p. M. Regardless of weekdays or weekends for the next three weeks.
In addition, for the active participation of citizens, an anonymous test is carried out that only records personal mobile phone numbers.
The government plans to employ 365 people, including doctors and nurses, for diagnostic tests in the temporary screening laboratory.
The basic principle of the test is a PCR test that places a cotton swab in the nose and, if the evaluator wishes, a PCR test with a needle or a rapid antigen test can be performed.
The result of the PCR test is notified by the public health center to the test subject, but for the rapid antigen test, wait 30 minutes to 2 hours before checking the result.
This expansion of the test aims to block the infection circuit by early detection of asymptomatic patients in the metropolitan area.
The quarantine authorities requested the active participation of the citizens of the metropolitan area.
Of course, it is free.
