At a press conference held on the 30th, the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association confirmed that it was possible to confirm that the "PCR test center" that confirmed the infection with the new coronavirus was introduced at 12 locations in Tokyo by referring the family doctor. He expressed his intention to continue cooperating toward the establishment of the center.
Regarding the PCR test to confirm whether or not the patient was infected with the new coronavirus, there were voices saying that they could not be tested under the existing system through consultation centers such as public health centers. In order to strengthen the PCR testing system, we have been promoting the establishment of a "PCR testing center," which allows patients to undergo testing by referring their GP.
At a press conference held on the 30th, the Tokyo Metropolitan Medical Association announced that it was able to confirm that 12 test centers have been established in Tokyo by examining the medical associations in each area of Tokyo.
On top of that, it is expected that the number of inspection centers will further increase in the future, as examination centers are being studied in areas other than those already installed.
Toru Tsunoda, Vice Chairman of the Tokyo Medical Association, said, "We will continue to create a system that will allow us to properly receive PCR tests no matter where we live in Tokyo. We will improve the environment while checking the status of the local medical association. I want to proceed. "
