[앵커]

Temporary screening offices where all citizens can receive free tests have been opened in Busan and Gwangju as well as in the metropolitan area.

The number of’quiet confirmed patients’ found at the laboratory through preemptive inspections amounted to 1,300.

Connect to reporters who are out on site. Reporter Son Hyo-jeong!

It’s been two weeks since the screening office was set up in the city hall. What’s the situation now?

[기자]

A temporary screening office was set up behind me, and citizens are waiting for the test.

So far, 110 people have been tested.

Only here at the screening test center, 33 administrative personnel and medical staff work daily.

Temporary screening offices are installed and operated in major downtown areas in the metropolitan area where there are many floating populations, such as the Seoul City Hall where I am listed.

Only at the Seoul Metropolitan Government Screening Office, on average, 1,200 people are being tested on weekdays and 460 people on weekends.

Screening laboratories began operation on the 14th, but so far, all of them have increased to 151.

Unlike screening clinics, anyone can get an examination even if there is no suspicion or contact with a confirmed patient.

As such, tests are being actively conducted.

In the past two weeks, 500,000 tests have been performed, and so far, 1,340 confirmed cases have been confirmed by the laboratory.

It seems to be effective that it is installed in a place where the inspection office can be easily found, and anyone with a mobile phone number can be examined anonymously.

The quarantine authorities have positively seen the effectiveness of the screening test center and are setting up test stations outside the metropolitan area.

Five locations were installed in Busan, and one was opened in Gwangju yesterday.

Until yesterday, about 5,500 citizens were tested at the Busan Temporary Screening Test.

The inspection office is open from 9 am to 6 pm on weekdays, and you can take it from 10 am to 5 pm on holidays and weekends.

It operates until next Monday, so January 3, next year, and the quarantine authorities said they plan to decide whether to extend the inspection station within this week.

Despite the efforts of the quarantine authorities, the infection situation is still serious.

Please tell me the main details.

[기자]

Yes, the quarantine authorities are looking for so-called’quiet confirmed patients’ who have no symptoms or are mild, but the corona 19 infection trend remains.

In particular, new cases of infection continue to appear in facilities used by the disabled and the elderly.

There were 50 confirmed cases of welfare facilities for the disabled in Songpa-gu, Seoul.

Since yesterday, the entire facility has been isolated in the same group.

This facility was a facility where 177 people, including 115 residents and 62 workers, stayed for the first time on the 25th.

Group infection continued in vulnerable facilities such as nursing homes.

The number of infections related to nursing hospitals in Guro-gu, Seoul increased to 170 with 11 additional cases.

At a nursing facility in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, 29 people have been confirmed since the first confirmed case on the 24th.

In a nursing hospital in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, two more were infected, resulting in 86 confirmed cases.

The infection rate that started in the eastern detention center is still there.

During the follow-up examination of the quarantine, eight more were confirmed, so there are a total of 528 confirmed cases.

As the group infection continues, it is difficult for the quarantine authorities to determine the route of infection of the confirmed person.

The proportion of’unknown infection route’ patients who do not know when and where they were infected is about 28%, 3 out of 10 new confirmed cases.

The quarantine authorities are in a position to block the spread by quickly finding hidden confirmed cases through preemptive inspections by the end of the year.
