[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk announced on the 28th that starting January 4th next year, it will install and operate a dedicated respiratory clinic in the parking lot of the Uljin-gun Public Health Center.

At the dedicated respiratory clinic, patients with respiratory symptoms such as cough and sore throat will be separated and treated, and if suspected of having COVID-19 or having epidemiological links, they will be referred to the screening clinic for diagnostic testing.

To prevent cross-infection between patients, those with cold or fever symptoms must make an appointment in advance. The clinic hours are from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekdays.

Uljin-gun plans to relocate the screening clinic currently operated by the medical center to the parking lot of the Uljin-gun Public Health Center and operate it alongside the dedicated respiratory clinic.

Choi Yong-pal, Director of the Health Business Division, stated, "With the operation of the dedicated respiratory clinic, patients with fever or respiratory symptoms can receive treatment with peace of mind, and COVID-19 diagnostic testing can be conducted more actively."
