Recently, as the number of patients at frontline medical institutions has decreased due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the burden of quarantine tasks such as early diagnosis of suspected COVID-19 patients and requests for diagnostic tests has increased, making it difficult for frontline medical institutions to operate. Through this special system, medical institutions are expected to receive benefit payments faster than usual, which will help support their operations.
