DOCTORS Co., Ltd., (head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Takao Yanagawa; hereinafter referred to as “DOCTORS”) is going to expand the sales of the PCR testing service for COVID-19 nationwide for individuals and corporations (mainly for those who are unaware of being infected and those who are asymptomatic). This test can be conducted easily at home or at work by self-collecting saliva.
■ Background
Currently, the number of positive cases of COVID-19 has surged in the northern hemisphere, mainly in Europe. The increase in the number of new cases causes concerns even in Japan because there are concerns about the spread of infection in Hokkaido. The situation is still critical because we cannot predict when the second or third wave of COVID-19 infections will expand.
There are still cases where people cannot take an administrative test at medical institutions even though they have a fever because they do not meet the requirements. As such, the environment in which all those who feel uneasy can take the PCR test for COVID-19 has not yet been well developed. In addition, there are those in rural areas who cannot take tests because there are no medical institutions nearby that provide such services.
In the business activities in the time of COVID-19, it has become increasingly significant for those who are engaged in the hospitality industry, such as customer service, to check their symptoms regularly in order to safely continue their economic activities.
■ Saliva PCR testing service that can be conducted at home
We will expand our service for PCR testing with self-collected saliva at home or at work to be provided nationwide in cooperation with medical institutions.
If you have concerns about your test results, you can take online counseling from a doctor, services of which are all available at home or at work.
