[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) will operate temporary screening clinics for about three weeks from the 15th of this month to January 3rd of next year to enable early detection of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and block asymptomatic sources of infection.

The locations are two places: the public parking lot next to Sinchon Train Station on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line (121-7 Daehyeon-dong) and the Hongje Tow Truck Storage near Hong Eun Intersection (227 Hongjenae-gil).

The operating hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekends and public holidays.

Anyone can receive a free test here regardless of whether they have suspected COVID-19 symptoms or epidemiological links.

At the two temporary screening clinics in Seodaemun-gu, a total of 34 staff members including doctors, nurses, clinical pathologists, and administrative personnel will be deployed.

The district will install Glove-Walls for non-contact specimen collection, negative pressure tents, waiting tents, heating and lighting facilities, tables, and chairs at these clinics.

The operation of the temporary screening clinics may be extended depending on the social distancing situation.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “To break the chain of COVID-19 spread, we ask not only those suspected of infection but also anyone who wishes to get tested, even if asymptomatic, to actively participate in the screening tests.”
