[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] The Jeonbuk Provincial Fire Headquarters announced on the 18th that starting from the 20th, when high school seniors return to school, they will support the transportation of students showing suspected symptoms of 'COVID-19' to prevent the spread of the virus.

Considering the recent spread of 'COVID-19' infections starting in the Itaewon area of Seoul, if students going to school report suspected COVID-19 symptoms such as sore throat and fever to 119, the 119 ambulance team will provide necessary support by transporting them from the school to screening clinics and public health centers.

To this end, the Fire Headquarters plans to utilize 24 dedicated COVID-19 ambulance teams operating in 12 fire stations across the province to support the safe transportation of students with suspected COVID-19 symptoms.

Hong Yeonggeun, head of the Fire Headquarters, said, “Based on our experience in COVID-19 transportation support operations, we will assist the 119 ambulance teams and do our best to block additional external contact within schools to alleviate the anxiety of students and parents caused by COVID-19.”
