Gochang-gun Operates 'Negative Pressure Container-Type Screening Clinic' Equipped with Heating and Cooling Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun announced on the 24th that from the 25th, it will newly install and operate a "negative pressure container equipped with both cooling and heating" that can conduct tests in all four seasons.

The container-type screening clinic installed at the entrance of the Gochang-gun Public Health Center measures 3m in width, 10m in length, and 3m in height, and consists of an epidemiological investigation room, a medical examination room, two specimen collection rooms, a medical staff changing room, and an X-ray room.

The patient treatment area is equipped with a negative pressure system, air conditioning and heating units, computers, specimen storage refrigerators, and air purifiers with HEPA filters.

In particular, an audio system that allows mutual calling and communication between medical staff and patients is fully equipped, further enhancing safety.

Additionally, ventilation and disinfection time has been reduced by more than 20 minutes compared to the previous tent-type, and it is unaffected by weather conditions such as heatwaves and cold, greatly improving convenience for both residents visiting the public health center screening clinic and medical staff.

Choi Hyun-sook, director of the Gochang-gun Public Health Center, said, "As confirmed cases have occurred in nearby areas, the number of tests in the Gochang area is rapidly increasing," and added, "We will do our best to keep Gochang-gun a clean area free from COVID-19."
