Suncheon City Operates COVID-19 Mobile Screening Clinic at Nambu Comprehensive Welfare Center

Providing COVID-19 Rapid Testing Service for Elderly with Mobility Difficulties

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City will set up a mobile screening clinic at the Nambu General Welfare Center on the 3rd with a dedicated team of 20 members to collect specimens, in order to alleviate mobility difficulties for elderly users of the center visited by COVID-19 confirmed patient number 55.

This test will be conducted on 233 students and staff of the Nambu General Welfare Center who overlapped in movement with patient number 55, and based on the test results, self-quarantine will be lifted accordingly.

Until now, during self-quarantine at home, management and daily services have been supported through one-on-one dedicated public officials from the town, township, and neighborhood offices, promptly addressing medical and daily inconvenience issues.

Suncheon City's mobile screening clinic installed a drive-through at Palma Gymnasium on the 23rd of last month, when confirmed cases were spreading, and conducted tests on 4,952 people until the 30th to support rapid testing.

Additionally, on the 29th of last month, a mobile screening clinic was set up on-site at Shindae Elementary School to support rapid specimen collection for 313 students and staff, all of whom tested negative the following day.

A Suncheon City official urged, “When visiting the public health center screening clinic, please comply with quarantine rules such as wearing masks and gloves, use private vehicles to minimize contact with others, and refrain as much as possible from gatherings, outings, and movement in daily life.”
