Implementation of on-site inspections for private inspection organizations

At a private laboratory in Yokohama City, there was an error in the judgment result of the new coronavirus PCR test, and even though it was originally "negative", it was incorrect to the medical institution or patient who requested the test as "positive". Was told. In response to this, an on-site inspection was conducted based on the law on clinical laboratory technicians, etc. as a public health center responsible for the registered sanitation laboratory in Yokohama City. We believe that improving the reliability of PCR tests is important for preventing the spread of COVID-19, and this time we will inform you of the information that has been identified as of today.
