8月のPCR検査センター

第7波がやって来た。東京都では7月末にコロナウイルス感染者が1日4万人を記録した。春の6波を超えてしまった。8月2日、小金井駅前PCR検査センターに出かけた。7月に行った時とは大違い。10人以上が検査を待っていた。図書館に行って、帰ってきたころも、まだ順番がこない。受付には「私の家族が陽性だった。濃厚接触者の私も検査できますか? 」という人が何人も来た。濃厚接触者は指定病院での検査が必要で、ここでは検査できないので断られていた。

私の検査となった。何回も受けて、慣れている。スマホにスムーズにデータ入力した。私はあらかじめ口の中に唾をためていたから検体提出もすぐできた。「陰性」だった。これで3日間は有効だそうだ。慣れるのも善し悪し、この感染騒動はいつになったら落ち着くやら。

PCR inspection center in August

7 waves came! In Tokyo, the number of people infected with coronavirus reached 40,000 a day at the end of July. It passed the 6 waves of spring. On August 2nd, I went to the PCR inspection center in front of Koganei Station. Very different from when I went in July. More than 10 people were waiting to be inspected. I went to the library, and when I came back, it was still not my turn. Many people came to the reception desk, saying, "My family member was positive. Can you test me, who has been in close contact with me?" Close contact person need to be inspected at a designated hospital, and they were refused because they can't be inspected here.

Became my inspection. I've taken it many times and am used to it. I entered data smoothly on my smartphone. I had saliva in my mouth beforehand, so I was able to submit the sample immediately. was "negative". This seems to work for 3 days. It's good or bad to get used to it, when will this infection turmoil(騒動) calm down?
