Since the sewage samples discharged from the above-mentioned buildings were tested positive for the new crown virus, it was suspected that there were invisible patients in the buildings, and following evaluation, the risk of infection in the relevant areas was higher.
Anyone who has been in the above-mentioned buildings for more than two hours between the 20th of last month and today, even if they were not in the “restricted area” when the “relevant declaration” came into effect, must undergo mandatory testing on or before March 7th . As a mutated virus strain is involved, it is prudent that people who have been vaccinated and who have been tested recently are still required to be tested.
