Changes in the way that qualitative antigen tests for COVID-19 are organized at hospitalization

In response to COVID-19 infection, this hospital has previously performed quantitative antigen tests with all hospitalized patients at the time of admission, and the test was available until Sunday, June 11, 2023. However, on that date we discontinued performance of screening tests for all newly admitted patients.

From Monday, June 12, antigen tests are to be qualitative, and performed only with patients selected using a checklist at admission. In this context, please take sufficient care of your health until admission.

We hope that all patients and their family members will understand our position, and cooperate with us.

Director, Nobuyuki Aotsuka
