Fukuoka City has expanded its capacity to conduct coronavirus screenings. By reorganizing the screening system with more flexible shift management for screening staff, the city quadrupled the screening capacity to 160 per day. While the city currently has two sets of screening devices, another set will be introduced by the end of March. Currently, a total of 384 cases can be handled inside Fukuoka Prefecture per day (including screening centers operated by Fukuoka Prefecture and Kitakyushu City.) Source: NHK
