Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, more than 1,200 chartered bus drivers were asked to undergo a rapid antigen test for Corona 19.
However, without dividing the time and location of the test, hundreds of people were gathered at once, and a situation of concern about infection occurred.
Reporter Lee Tae-hyun of CJB reported.
<Reporter> This
is the parking lot of the Northern Transit Center in Cheongju, where rapid antigen testing is being conducted for public transport workers.
Hundreds of people waiting for inspection from the parking lot entrance line up more than 100 meters.
They are so close together that the distance is colorless.
There are also people who smoke in the middle of the atmosphere.
However, no one can control it.
This is in contrast to the temporary screening clinics in other regions where distance is well maintained.

I think this way.]
This rapid antigen test, conducted by Cheongju City for two days, targets 1,280 employees of chartered bus companies.
However, over 600 people were gathered at once in the morning of the first day of the inspection due to batch notifications regardless of time zone or location.
[Park Ji-Yong/Bus driver: If you control the line from the beginning), these people are not too much.
People are conscious of the people...
There was no standard at first.]
[Cheongju City officials: Suddenly, one hundred and two hundred people come in...
I didn't think we would come so far at once.] The
test subjects
burst out
in anguish saying that the quarantine authorities called them to look for asymptomatic infections and exposed them to the danger.
