“The main reason I came [for testing] was that I was traveling with an elderly person…I haven’t been on a trip with an elderly person in three years.”

Amid concerns about the spread of infection during Golden Week, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has begun antigen testing for new coronas at five stations, including Ueno and Tokyo Stations, from April 28 to May 8, free of charge if you make a reservation in advance, and the results will be available in about 15 minutes.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government hopes that many people will take the test before traveling or returning home.
