Regarding the free inspection of the new coronavirus conducted by Ehime Prefecture, it was found that the arrival of inspection kits from overseas has become uncertain due to the influence of Russia's military invasion of Ukraine, and it will be partially suspended from next week. ..
Following the spread of infection by the Omicron strain, Ehime Prefecture conducts free PCR and antigen tests at about 80 pharmacies and clinics in the prefecture for asymptomatic people from January to the end of this month. ..
However, due to the military invasion of Ukraine by Russia, international flights connecting Japan and Europe have been canceled one after another, so it is difficult to expect the arrival of inspection kits from overseas manufacturers. Part of the inspection will be suspended from the day.
There will be a total of four venues in Matsuyama, Niihama, Saijo, and Uwajima.
According to the prefecture, there is no prospect of resumption.
Ehime Prefecture, which conducts the inspection, commented, "We can inspect at other places, so please check the prefecture's homepage for the latest information."
