[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) will extend the operation of the two temporary screening clinics currently in operation for an additional four weeks until February 14.

This measure aims to quickly block asymptomatic infection sources and alleviate residents' anxiety amid the ongoing spread of COVID-19.

Seongbuk-gu has installed and is operating temporary screening clinics at Seongbuk-gu Office Wind Yard (Bomun-ro 168) last month and at the Seoul Civil Defense Education Center (Hwarang-ro 376).

On weekdays, testing is available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on weekends and public holidays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the temporary screening clinics.

The testing method is nasopharyngeal swab PCR, and any general citizen wishing to be tested can do so anonymously. The cost is free for all residents.

As of 6 p.m. on the 14th, Seongbuk-gu conducted tests on 20,717 people through the two temporary screening clinics and identified 105 asymptomatic confirmed cases.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, “Amid sporadic local infections recently occurring, we are concentrating all district government efforts to prevent and end the spread of COVID-19,” adding, “We ask for compliance with distancing measures such as refraining from gatherings and hope everyone participates in proactive testing even if they have no symptoms.”
