Gurye-gun Continues Operation of 'Mobile Car Screening Clinic'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] On the 7th, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that despite the transition to social distancing in daily life, it will continue to operate the Drive Through screening clinic by relocating it to the parking lot of the Public Health Center.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community, the county has been proactively operating a Drive Through screening clinic since February 29, where people coming for testing in their own vehicles can complete all tests inside their cars without needing to get out, thereby shortening the time and ensuring safe testing.

The existing Drive Through screening clinic was installed and operated in the parking lot of the Disabled Welfare Center, which was temporarily closed, but the location was changed starting from the 6th due to the transition to social distancing in daily life.

Although social distancing in daily life has been implemented, due to school openings and continuous arrivals from overseas, the screening clinic will continue to operate until 10 PM as before for the time being, and overseas arrivals will be tested on the same day up to those arriving by the last KTX train at 9:12 PM.

A Public Health Center official said, “We deeply appreciate the parties who provided the location to operate the Drive Through screening clinic in the parking lot of the Disabled Welfare Center,” and added, “Citizens should understand that social distancing in daily life does not mean returning to the pre-COVID-19 normal.”

He continued, “Until this situation ends, please refrain from visiting crowded places, wash your hands frequently with running water for more than 30 seconds, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, wear a mask when visiting medical institutions, and if you have fever or respiratory symptoms, use the screening clinic (061-780-2673).”
