[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] On the 2nd, the Police Hospital announced that it will operate a Respiratory Clinic to prepare for the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the simultaneous outbreak of respiratory infections (such as colds and influenza) during the winter season.

The Police Hospital Respiratory Clinic will be set up in a separate space outside the hospital to separate the flow of respiratory and fever patients from general patients. The operating hours are from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays.

To reduce the risk of cross-infection, the clinic operates by appointment, but same-day registration is possible if unavoidable. When making an appointment, if epidemiological links to COVID-19 are confirmed through a preliminary questionnaire, a COVID-19 diagnostic test will be conducted at the hospital's screening clinic; otherwise, patients will receive treatment at the Respiratory Clinic.
