[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] “Thank you for your hard work in the humid and hot weather. Have some coffee and stay strong!”

On the afternoon of the 16th at 3 PM, Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, visited the COVID-19 screening clinic to mark the start of the hottest period of summer (Chobok), delivering iced coffee and encouraging the staff.

Mayor Ryu handed iced coffee to 20 workers at the screening clinic and information desk who have been working tirelessly to respond to COVID-19, expressing appreciation for their efforts and urging strict maintenance of the quarantine system to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The district’s COVID-19 screening clinic, which has been operating since January 26, currently employs a total of 22 staff, including 5 doctors and 6 medical staff from the Jungnang-gu Public Health Center’s medical department. To date, 8,318 COVID-19 tests have been conducted, averaging 49 tests per day.

Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi of Jungnang-gu said, “I am grateful to the medical staff and employees who are fighting on the front lines of COVID-19 wearing protective suits in this heat that easily tires people. I prepared iced coffee so they can forget the heat even for a moment. We will continue to do our best to build a thorough quarantine network to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

Since last month, the district has been operating a ‘Walking-Through Screening Clinic’ where medical staff can safely conduct COVID-19 tests without wearing protective suits, improving the working environment for medical personnel.
