Military Omicron response… Reinforcement of PCR test personnel and lease of isolation facilities

With the spread of Omicron, the Ministry of National Defense strengthens its current PCR test capability and promotes rental of private facilities in preparation for a surge in quarantined persons.

The Ministry of National Defense announced today (24th) that it will establish and implement a countermeasure for the dominant species of Omicron including these contents.

If PCR test capability becomes insufficient in the future, we decided to expand the rapid antigen test while conducting PCR tests according to priorities within the county.

In order to reduce the management burden along with the expansion of facilities for quarantined persons, the quarantine period for contacts and those returning from vacation will be shortened from 10 days to 7 days.
