[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Chang-woo Lee) will operate an on-site screening clinic for proactive COVID-19 testing in the Noryangjin area starting from the 25th.

In response to the recent surge in confirmed COVID-19 cases due to a cluster infection at academies in Noryangjin, the district decided on the 23rd, through a joint meeting with the Central Disease Control Headquarters, Seoul City, and related agencies, to establish and operate an on-site screening clinic to prevent large-scale further spread.

The on-site screening clinic will be set up in the Dongjak-gu Office parking lot (161 Jangseungbaegi-ro).

It will operate for three days from the 25th to the 27th (10 AM to 5 PM), with the possibility of extending the period depending on the testing trend.

The testing targets include not only residents of Noryangjin-dong but also users, operators, and workers of all facilities in the Noryangjin area such as ▲academies ▲private tutoring centers ▲reading rooms ▲study cafes ▲restaurants, and cafes.

The testing is free of charge, and after testing, residents are advised to avoid contact with others as much as possible and to wait at home. Test results will be notified individually via text message the following day.

The screening clinic will have five walk-through specimen collection booths and six collection personnel assigned. The district plans to deploy sufficient administrative staff who will be pre-trained to guide residents and support rapid testing.

Additionally, the district will make every effort to promote the testing so that as many residents as possible in the Noryangjin area undergo this proactive testing. Banners will be installed around Noryangjin, and district office staff will visit multi-use facilities such as ▲academies ▲reading rooms ▲restaurants ▲cafes to distribute promotional materials about the screening clinic and encourage testing.

Furthermore, active cooperation has been requested from related agencies as well as the Goshiwon Association and the Noryangjin Merchants Association. For more details, please contact the Dongjak-gu Public Health Center.

Health Center Director Mo Hyun-hee stated, “To block the spread of COVID-19, we hope many residents in the Noryangjin area visit the on-site screening clinic for testing regardless of symptoms,” and added, “With the implementation of strengthened social distancing level 2, we ask for minimal outings and strict adherence to personal quarantine rules.”
