SOFTBANK Group announced that it will be able to take a PCR test with saliva to check whether it is infected with the new coronavirus for employees of local governments and companies that want it for 2000 yen each time.
This was revealed at a press conference by President Masayoshi Son at a testing facility established by the SoftBank Group in cooperation with the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture.
According to this, this laboratory will be able to receive a PCR test that allows you to check with saliva whether you are infected with the new coronavirus for 2000 yen each time.
For the time being, corporations such as local governments and companies will accept applications for testing online, send saliva collected with the test kit to the testing facility, and notify the company of the results.
Since the test does not involve a doctor, we will not issue a negative certificate.
The SoftBank Group began accepting inspections on the 24th, and hopes to establish a system that can inspect 10,000 people per day in November.
President Son said at a press conference on the 24th, "It is important for asymptomatic people to be tested cheaply, anytime, any number of times, in order to eliminate the risk of spreading the infection." He expressed his desire to accept tests for individuals as well.
