[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 11th, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will expand COVID-19 diagnostic testing using rapid antigen kits and PCR tests.
The expanded testing targets include nursing hospitals, nursing homes, home welfare facilities, public transportation, as well as foreign workers and vulnerable facilities where residents and facility workers gather densely.
The county has secured 3,000 rapid antigen test kits and PCR tests from contingency funds to proactively conduct tests so that anyone can be tested even without symptoms.
