[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Go Dallyeong] Jinan County announced on the 22nd that it will change the negative pressure tent-type screening clinic to a container-type screening clinic for safe and rapid COVID-19 testing and operate it on a regular basis.

The existing negative pressure tent-type screening clinic required medical staff and testees to face each other directly, necessitating the wearing of Level D protective gear to prevent cross-infection among medical staff, which was cumbersome and uncomfortable due to rising temperatures.

The county stated that with the introduction of a negative pressure container-type screening clinic equipped with HEPA filters, tests can be conducted quickly and safely, preventing secondary infections among medical staff and testees.

Inside, there are two specimen collection booths and a radiography room, and the installation of heating and cooling systems ensures safety by blocking airborne transmission.

Jeon Chunseong, the governor of Jinan County, said, “With the installation of the negative pressure container screening clinic, COVID-19 testing can be conducted quickly and safely, improving working conditions for medical staff and enhancing infection prevention effects. We will continue to do our best to keep Jinan safe from infectious diseases.”
