[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Gimhae City (Mayor Heo Seong-gon) announced on the 3rd that the drive-thru screening clinic for the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), which started operating on the 1st, is receiving positive responses from citizens.


The drive-thru screening clinic recorded 68 consultations and 52 specimen collections within two days of operation, surpassing the number of users at existing screening clinics. The public health center's screening clinic handles 25 to 30 cases per day.


The drive-thru screening clinic is available daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. without passengers in the vehicle. Immediate testing is possible after phone consultation and prior reservation, and if visiting without a reservation, testing is determined based on epidemiological investigation results while remaining in the vehicle.
