[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Goyang City in Gyeonggi Province will temporarily suspend the operation of the drive-thru 'Goyang Ansim Car Screening Clinic' starting from the 20th.
On the 18th, Goyang City announced, "Due to the decreasing number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and the establishment of a dedicated screening clinic for overseas arrivals at KINTEX, we have decided to suspend the operation of the Ansim Car Screening Clinic."
Previously, on February 26, Goyang City was the first local government nationwide to introduce a drive-thru screening clinic. So far, over 1,800 specimens have been collected, with 4 confirmed COVID-19 cases among them.
