At a private inspection organization in Yokohama, the judgment result of the new coronavirus PCR test was incorrect, and even though it was originally "negative", it was mistaken as "positive" to medical institutions and patients who requested the test. I was telling you the result. In response to this, we conducted an on-site inspection based on the Act on Clinical Laboratory Engineers, etc., as a public health center responsible for registered sanitary laboratories in Yokohama City. We have determined that increasing the reliability of PCR tests is important for preventing the spread of COVID-19 infection, and this time we will inform you of the information that has been identified as of today.
