Temporary Screening Clinic in Dobong-gu (Exit 1 of Chang-dong Station)

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) will extend the operation of temporary screening clinics set up at Exit 1 of Chang-dong Station and the plaza in front of the district office until the 14th to facilitate early detection of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases and prevent the spread of infection within the area.

The operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays (disinfection time from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.) and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on weekends. Anyone can receive a free test regardless of overseas travel history or suspected COVID-19 symptoms.

Since December 14 last year, Dobong-gu has installed and operated temporary screening clinics at three locations: the plaza at Exit 1 of Chang-dong Station, the plaza in front of Dobong-gu Office, and the plaza at Dobong Community Center. From this extension, the temporary screening clinic at the Community Center will no longer operate.

As of January 12, the daily number of visitors to Dobong-gu's temporary screening clinics was 691, with a cumulative total of 21,320 tests conducted. Considering the geographical advantages and demand for testing, the district decided to extend the operation.

Lee Dong-jin, Mayor of Dobong-gu, said, “Due to the high necessity of proactive diagnosis for asymptomatic transmission and unknown infection routes, the extension of the temporary screening clinics is necessary,” and added, “We ask for the cooperation and participation of all residents in testing.”
