[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] Iksan City Public Health Center announced on the 8th that it has manufactured and installed a negative pressure container-type screening clinic in preparation for the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the summer monsoon and typhoon season, and has begun full-scale operation.

The screening clinic measures 10m in width, 3m in length, and 3m in height, and consists of one epidemiological investigation room, three walk-through rooms, one specimen storage room, and a medical examination room.
