It’s the first day the temporary screening clinic was opened. Did you find a lot of people?

The place where I am out is a temporary clinic in the parking lot of the sports center.

It starts operating today at 10 a.m. and the inspection will be over soon.

It has been determined that more than 90 inspectors have visited so far.

Most of them weren’t the subjects of epidemiological investigations, but they came because they wanted to be tested.

From today, anyone who is not subject to epidemiological investigations related to confirmed patients and has no symptoms can receive a diagnostic test at this temporary screening clinic for free.

This is to implement a large-scale preemptive inspection in response to the spread of Corona 19 according to the government policy.

There are 3 temporary screening clinics only in Dongjak-gu, including the Heukseok Sports Center and Sadang Cultural Center.

More than 140 employees and 10 officials, including the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the police, and soldiers, are involved in the clinic and epidemiological investigations.

Existing public health center screening clinics are extended until 9 pm on weekdays.

Temporary screening clinics are set up in 150 metropolitan areas around metro stations with large floating populations, major university districts, and areas where group infections occur.

In Seoul, 21 locations including Tapgol Park, Seoul Station Plaza, and Gangnam Station Exit 9 opened first today, and 56 are scheduled to open in the future.

More than 800 support personnel, including military, police, and probationary officials, are deployed here.

It is scheduled to operate for the next three weeks until January 3, next year, and is also open on weekends and holidays.

In order to prevent avoidance of testing, an anonymous method is also conducted where only a phone number is provided.

In addition to the PCR test in which a cotton swab is placed in the nose, a saliva test and a rapid antigen test that can confirm the result in 30 minutes are also newly introduced.

However, the quarantine authorities recommend the PCR method with the highest accuracy among them.

It has become important to find asymptomatic confirmed patients early, now called’quiet preachers’.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government also asked for self-examination repeatedly.

Active participation is required to curb the spread of the third pandemic.
