The city of Seoul announced on the 16th that it will conduct a comprehensive corona19 test for groups at high risk of new coronavirus (Corona 19) infections.
Seo Jeong-hyup, Seoul’s acting mayor, said in an online briefing that day: “We will increase the number of inspections that are limited to around 10,000 per day to a maximum of 37,000 with the determination to inspect all citizens.” .
The city decided to initiate a comprehensive inspection on high-risk groups that are inevitably exposed to 3 dense environments (closed, dense, and intimate) such as the distribution and logistics business, such as package delivery, foodservice workers and call centers and sewing facilities.
We also include workers in religious facilities where group infections occur one after another across the country.
Also, nursing facility workers, emergency care workers, and people in essential industries, including subway, bus and taxi, public transportation drivers, which become more fatal if even one person is infected, are subject to a full inspection.
Those who work in the industry can get tested for free regardless of whether they have symptoms or are in contact with a confirmed person. In principle, the test is a ‘nasopharyngeal smear (PCR) gene amplification test’, but if the sample collection is diagnosed as not easy or a quick result is needed, a saliva PCR test with acupuncture is supplemented , and the result is obtained quickly in 30 minutes. Antigen tests are also done.
Over the past two days, 10,576 people participated in the preliminary inspection for general citizens in the Seoul area.
Of these, 17 of the 2,240 examiners on the 14th, the first day, were confirmed, and the results of the 8,336 exams on the 15th have not yet come out.
Park Yoo-mi, Seoul’s quarantine control officer, said: “It was estimated that about 1 person will be confirmed for every 10,000 preventive inspections, but a large number of people have been confirmed,” he said. “Seoul will continue to expand public inspections.”
The city plans to install and operate temporary inspection and inspection stations at 56 locations with a large floating population, such as Seoul Station, Yongsan Station, Tapgol Park, and the Express Bus Terminal.
In addition, a temporary screening office was established in Seoul Plaza for office workers in Gwanghwamun and it was decided to operate it from the 17th.
