This was revealed at the press conference on May 28 by Shimizu Mayor of Saitama City.
As a result, we are planning to set up about 4 new "regional outpatient / inspection centers" to conduct virus inspections outsourced to local medical associations in May. At this center, samples are collected by a "drive-through method" that carries out PCR tests while in a car, and the tests are carried out by a private inspection agency.
Regarding the PCR test, the director of the public health center in Saitama City said on April 10, "I didn't want the hospital to overflow, so I had a policy to test people who are likely to become positive a little more severely." Therefore, there were problems such as the mayor apologizing.
Mayor Shimizu said, "With this installation, we will be able to provide many people with inspection opportunities. We would like to strengthen the system in cooperation with private medical institutions."
