Gwangju Dong-gu, a man delivers a handwritten thank-you letter to the screening clinic...

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] “The situation is worsening again, but just as we have overcome it well thanks to all of you so far, I believe we can continue to overcome it well in the future.”

On the 14th, a man visited the Dong-gu Health Center’s screening clinic and handed over a handwritten letter along with a vitamin drink.

The note he gave read, “Every time I pass by, seeing you in white protective suits stepping outside the screening clinic to take a breath breaks my heart,” and “I am deeply thankful to the medical staff who are precious to someone,” accompanied by a carefully drawn hand-shaped illustration of the COVID-19 overcoming support relay ‘Deokbune Challenge.’

Lee Myung-sook, a staff member working at the screening clinic that day, said, “I am grateful and encouraged to receive such a support letter during this cautious time with signs of COVID-19 resurgence,” adding, “I will faithfully carry out my duties in place until the day COVID-19 is completely eradicated.”

Meanwhile, since the COVID-19 outbreak, Dong-gu Health Center has temporarily suspended medical and civil affairs services and redeployed personnel under an emergency COVID-19 work system to establish a full-scale response posture.

Going forward, they plan to thoroughly support specimen collection, monitor self-quarantined individuals, assist the screening clinic, operate a 24-hour call center, and carry out disinfection and quarantine measures.
