An anonymous test, which was started by the metropolitan city of Gwangju to find cases of new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which are not revealed even in epidemiological investigations, is paying off. This is because “confirmed blinking patients”, which may be the cause of another nth infection (serial), are confirmed by voluntary examination.
The anonymous inspection found 10 people on the 28th and 30th of last month
Of these, 7 people cannot confirm contact with the existing confirmed person.
“If the traffic line with the confirmed case overlaps, go to the public health center”
Over 1000 anonymous voluntary tests in Gwangju
According to Gwangju City on the 1st, 1,171 people were voluntarily tested in the “temporary screening test” installed in the outdoor plaza of Gwangju City Hall for 4 days from 27 to 31 last month.
Gwangju City installed a temporary screening laboratory in Gwangju City Hall Square from 1 p.m. on 27 last month, and is conducting anonymous testing for free regardless of suspicious symptoms such as cough or fever, or contact with confirmed patients. Here, 524 people were inspected on the day of the installation until 12:00 noon on the 28th of last month.
On the 28th of last month, 6 infected people were found in the temporary detection laboratory and 4 were confirmed on the 30th of last month. Of these, seven are cases of infection that have not been revealed in the epidemiological investigation of confirmed cases by the quarantine authorities.
Voluntary examination to find dark confirmation.
Seven people who were found by anonymous voluntary testing had suspicious Corona 19 symptoms, such as cough and fever, but the test was not performed because contact with the existing confirmed person was not confirmed.
In the Gwangju area, 205 people became infected one after another in 10 days after 13 confirmed cases classified as local infection cases occurred on the 19th of last month.
In the case of Corona 19 spread through existing confirmed cases, dozens of additional confirmed cases emerged due to the umpteenth infection that followed one confirmed case. The Evergreen Nursing Home, where the spread of Corona 19 has recently been concentrated, has spread to other nursing hospitals and saunas, with 62 related confirmed cases, and Gwangju Cheongsa Church also has 41 confirmed cases. Quarantine authorities are tracking the exact source of infection in seven people.
“If the traffic line with the confirmed case overlaps, go to the local public health center” Why?
Gwangju City Health and Welfare Office Director Park Hyang said in a briefing: “If you are notified that the traffic line with the existing confirmed case overlaps or you are classified as a contact, and You are notified to undergo a test, please do it at the local public health center, not at the temporary screening center. ”
Temporary screening labs do not isolate themselves until results are obtained because citizens without overlap or symptoms are voluntarily tested. Also, when tested at the local public health center, basic epidemiological investigations are done, but for anonymous voluntary testing, follow-up management is difficult because only a phone number is provided.
On the 28th and 30th of last month, 3 out of 10 patients confirmed in the temporary screening test had a connection to existing confirmers, 2 were related to Gwangju Cheongsa Church and 1 was related to doctors who were confirmed to have an infection in series after sports club activities. Some of them were notified by the quarantine authorities to undergo tests in the competent public health center, since contact with the existing confirmed cases was identified in the epidemiological investigation, but they were also analyzed in a temporary detection laboratory.
An official from the Gwangju City quarantine authorities said: “If a person who has been in contact with a confirmed patient is confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 through anonymous voluntary testing, it has an adverse effect that the Epidemiological investigation is delayed while results are available. ” “Please do a test at the public health center.”
