[사회]Temporary inspection office in the metropolitan area even during Lunar New Year holidays…Switched to real name inspection from the 15th

[앵커]

The Metropolitan Area Temporary Screening and Inspection Center, which finds hidden corona19 infected people, is also open during the Lunar New Year holidays.

In order to detect asymptomatic or mildly ill patients early, the quarantine authorities have decided to keep the operation of the screening laboratory, which is scheduled to end on Sunday, until phase 2 of the distance.

Also, starting next Monday (15th), anonymous test will be converted to real name test.

There was a long line to receive an anonymous test for Corona 19 at the temporary screening inspection office in the metropolitan area.

To receive an anonymous test that continues even during the Lunar New Year holidays, you must first check the location and operating hours by searching for’temporary screening inspection stations’ on Naver Map or Kakao Map.

From December 14 last year, 4,800 confirmed cases were detected early in more than 1.7 million tests through 131 temporary screening inspection centers in the metropolitan area.

This is equivalent to 12% of new cases in the last 8 weeks.

This prevented the possibility of a hidden confirmed person stalking and spreading the infection without even knowing it was infected.

The quarantine authorities evaluated this effect and decided to keep the operation of the screening test, which is scheduled to end on the 14th, until the second stage of distancing.

Accordingly, in step 2 or higher, if you have symptoms of Corona 19 or have epidemiological associations and need to be tested, you can visit a screening clinic.

However, considering that the number of confirmed cases has decreased, the demand for testing has decreased, and the existing screening clinics have enough room for testing, some testing centers will be consolidated and closed and then reduced.

Also, from the 15th, the anonymous test that was conducted at the temporary screening test will be converted to a real name test that collects your name, date of birth, and phone number.

This is for rapid response, action, and efficient management when a confirmed person is found.
