Mutsu City, Aomori Prefecture, has decided that the city will bear the cost of the PCR test for new adults who will participate in the coming-of-age ceremony in January next year.
No one has been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus in Mutsu City, and we would like to take thorough measures to prevent infection.
This was revealed by Mutsu City at the meeting of the countermeasures headquarters for the new coronavirus on the 11th, and the city will bear the cost for new adults who will participate in the coming-of-age ceremony scheduled for January 10th next year. I decided to carry out a PCR test.
According to the city, a private PCR test kit will be mailed to new adults and will be tested before returning home or a few days before the ceremony to see if they are infected with the new coronavirus.
It is said that a private PCR test costs about 10,000 yen per person, but Mutsu City says that it will use about 5 million yen donated by companies and individuals to control infectious diseases.
In addition to measuring the temperature at the entrance of the venue on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, we are planning to broadcast online for those who could not attend.
No people infected with the new coronavirus have been confirmed in Mutsu City so far, and about 400 people including new adults living outside the prefecture attend the coming-of-age ceremony every year, so the city is preventing infection. I want to take thorough measures.
