Gifu Prefecture Confirmation of infection and announcement of “all negative by re-examination” New Corona July 8 21:10
Gifu Prefecture announced on the 7th that it was confirmed that it was infected with the new coronavirus, but the prefecture made a new inspection on the 8th, and turned around and confirmed that all were negative. The prefecture is checking if there is any problem in determining the test results.
Gifu Prefecture on the 7th, men in their 20s in Gifu City, both men in their 40s and women in their 20s in Mizuho City, have symptoms such as coughing and fever, and they are examined at a "regional outpatient/inspection center" in the prefecture. As a result, it was announced that an infection was confirmed.
However, depending on the prefecture, the positive test result of the LAMP method, which gives results in a short time on 7 days, was weak, so when the center carried out another PCR test on 7 days, all were negative. It was decided that.
The prefecture apologized after explaining the message to three people because the PCR test was performed again on the 8th and a negative result was confirmed again.
The prefecture will check whether there was a problem in the determination of the test results and inform the facilities conducting inspections in the prefecture to consult if there is any doubt about the determination.
The number of people confirmed to be infected in Gifu Prefecture was corrected to 160, because three patients turned around and were determined to be negative.
