[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seung-ro Lee, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, visited the screening clinics and testing sites set up at Seongbuk-gu Public Health Center, Seoul Civil Defense Education Center, and Seongbuk-gu Office Wind Yard on the 2nd, following his visit on the 1st, to express his gratitude to the medical staff and support personnel.

The mayor personally greeted the medical staff and support personnel who are doing their best to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the New Year holiday, expressing respect and thanks for protecting the health and safety of 450,000 Seongbuk-gu residents.

To quickly block asymptomatic COVID-19 infections, Seongbuk-gu installed two screening testing sites at the Seoul Civil Defense Education Center and Seongbuk-gu Office Wind Yard on the 15th of last month, and has extended their operation until the 17th of this month.

As of the 2nd, 15,216 tests have been conducted through the two temporary screening clinics, identifying 70 asymptomatic cases.

The Seongbuk-gu temporary screening testing sites operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends and public holidays.

During the holiday from January 1 to 3, 2021, testing was also conducted from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The testing method is nasopharyngeal swab PCR, and any general citizen wishing to be tested can do so anonymously. The test is free of charge.

Seung-ro Lee, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “We are concentrating all administrative efforts to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19, but voluntary participation from residents is absolutely necessary along with quarantine measures,” and repeatedly urged, “Please refrain from gatherings of five or more people and actively participate in proactive COVID-19 testing for the health and safety of all.”
