The Japanese phrase for "covid test" is コロナ検査.
コロナ検査 is the common, shortened way to refer to a COVID-19 test in daily conversation.
Did you know?
- During the height of the pandemic, the term 密 (mitsu), meaning 'dense' or 'crowded', became a major cultural buzzword used alongside testing to describe high-risk environments.
- When discussing the results, a positive result is often called 陽性 (yōsei), which is a term also used in chemistry to indicate the presence of a substance.
- The word 検査 (kensa) is used for everything from police inspections to quality control in factories, not just for medical testing.
