[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) operates temporary screening clinics where anyone can get tested for COVID-19 regardless of symptoms.


Eunpyeong-gu is installing temporary screening clinics in major areas within the district to enable easy access to testing as a proactive measure to block asymptomatic infection sources.


The temporary screening clinics, operating for three weeks from December 16 to January 3, 2021, will be set up at three locations: Bulgwangcheon Eunpyeong Chundang, Meeting Plaza at the Waterfall Park near Exit 1 of Gupabal Station in Jingwan-dong, and the District Office Plaza.


These temporary screening clinics feature open-type negative pressure tents staffed by doctors, nurses, and administrative personnel. Testing is available free of charge to anyone from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day, including weekends.


To prevent unnecessary invasion of privacy during testing, the process is conducted anonymously, with only age and personal smartphone numbers recorded to ensure anonymity and enhance testing convenience.



Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “Eunpyeong is conducting active quarantine measures by establishing a more sophisticated epidemiological investigation system, operating residential treatment centers to secure hospital beds, and implementing temporary screening clinics for proactive testing. We ask residents to strictly follow social distancing, wear masks properly, and cooperate to achieve COVID-19 OUT.”
