“Early prevention of asymptomatic patients and blocking the spread of Corona 19”
Busan City said, “On the 21st, after Amusement Maru in Jeonpo-dong, Busanjin-gu and Busan Station in Dong-gu, on the 22nd, a temporary inspection and inspection center was installed in the lighthouse square. of the Busan City Council in Yeonje-gu, respectively, and began operating.In addition to screening clinics in the existing 16 g / gun health centers, the City of Busan is installing temporary screening and testing centers in 8 locations where Citizens move frequently. The remaining five will be installed in Dongnae-gu, Buk-gu, Haeundae-gu, Saha-gu and Gangseo-gu. All of them will be in operation until next week after discussions with the gu / gun on facility location and budget support issues.
217 and 115 people were tested at the temporary inspection and review centers at Amusement Maru and Busan Station, which were operated for the first time on the 21st. However, the test results are expected to be released last. evening time on the 22nd or morning on the 23rd. Because group testing is done, test results tend to appear later than at public health centers where individual testing is done.
Temporary inspection and review stations operate from 7 am to 7 pm at Amusement Floor, from 10 am to 7 pm at Busan Station, and from 9 am to 6 pm at Busan City Hall Lighthouse Plaza.
Public health center screening clinics and temporary screening tests have different functions. Since the public health center screening clinic primarily screens people who have suspicious symptoms or confirmed patient contacts, self-isolation should be performed until post-test results are obtained. However, the temporary screening lab is a place to quickly find people with asymptomatic infections in the community, so anonymous testing is possible and self-isolation is not required. In Busan, about 20% of confirmed cases are asymptomatic.
Furthermore, temporary inspection and control offices do not investigate contacts with inspectors. As it is an anonymous test, it does not issue a confirmation of the test results.
Ahn Byung-seon, head of Busan Citizens Prevention Promotion Division, said: “If you have symptoms or want a quick result, you can use the public health center screening clinic, and if there are no symptoms, But if you are concerned about the infection, you can use the temporary screening test center. “You have to actively control yourself, like the user system of the facility,” he said.
In Busan, Corona 19 confirmed an additional 21 people on the 22nd, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases increased to 1553. On that day, four contacts were confirmed in Gyeongnam No. 1062 at Hanain Church in Guseo-dong, Geumjeong-gu. Gyeongnam 1062 and Busan 1525 were surveyed to have worshiped on the 13th. As a result, the number of confirmed cases related to this church increased to six.
On this day, two more were confirmed at Cheil Nara Nursing Hospital and one at Inchang Nursing Hospital. Most of the remaining confirmed patients were evaluated prior to release from quarantine or were diagnosed with symptoms during quarantine.
In Busan, there have been dozens of confirmed cases on the 29th since the 24th of last month. During this period, the reproductive rate of infection for one week has remained around 1. The reproductive rate of infection represents the number of secondary infections that an infected person can infect on average. If it is greater than 1, it means that at least one other person can become infected.
A Busan city official said: “Looking at the reproductive rate of Corona 19 infection in Busan, it is likely that dozens of people will be confirmed for a while.”
