Over the weekend, foreigners trying to get tested for Corona 19 were crowded at the screening test center, causing confusion. Reporter Kim Jae-hyun has been there.

This morning, I went to the Corona 19 Screening Test in Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province.
Gyeonggi-do has issued an administrative order to conduct a thorough investigation of foreign workers in the building from the 8th to the 22nd.
This is because group infections appear at foreign working facilities such as Namyangju and Ansan, Gyeonggi-do, so let’s see how it is progressing.
I am now at the Corona 19 Temporary Screening and Inspection Office in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do.
Until the 22nd, foreign workers in Bucheon and Gyeonggi Province are obligated to undergo Corona 19 testing.
The number of people identified is about 85,000, but since illegal immigrants are also subject to inspection, the actual number of inspection personnel is likely to be much higher.
After a while, the test starts at 9:30.
The time is 9:02, and there are still about 30 minutes left, but you can see them standing in line.
Hundreds of people gather and line up to the end of the parking lot where the inspection station is located.
[부천 시민 : 어제도 왔는데 (사람 너무 많아서) 못해가지고 그냥 돌아갔어요.]
[부천 시민 : 감염될까 봐 불안하지.]
I started the test a while ago.
Since a lot of crowds are gathering at once, you can see the appearance that cannot be distanced.
Health center staff at the site are guiding you to leave the streets, but there are limitations.
In particular, in this case like Bucheon, all foreigners, regardless of where they live, are guided to undergo examinations here.
[부천 보건소 관계자 (JTBC ‘뉴스ON’과 통화) : (집 주변에서 받는 게 아니고 거기로 가야 되는 거예요?) 네. 종합운동장 임시선별검사소나 아니면 소사나 오정 보건소 쪽에 있는 임시선별검사소도 가능하지만요. 소사나 오정 보건소 같은 경우에는 내일부터 가능하신데 아직 정확한 시간대가 지금 공지된 부분이 없다보니까요.]
That’s why the crowd at once, isn’t the inspection office more dangerous, there is also a story like this.
[앵커]
Even though today is a weekday morning, it is crowded with people trying to get tested. I’m worried because it doesn’t seem like I can’t distance myself at all, but on the weekends, things were worse?

I will explain while watching the prepared photos and videos.
This is the scenery of the Bucheon Screening Test Center last weekend that I went to today.
You can see that a lot of people are really densely packed.
Another inspection station in Gimpo.
There is an endless long line of lines to be tested for corona.
This is a video that the informant took and sent.
This informant went for an examination last Friday and Saturday and waited for about two hours, but there were so many people that he just returned.
He said he was too anxious because he wasn’t having a basic distance, and he said he couldn’t hold the child until he came home and washed it.
