Temporary Screening Clinic in Front of Seongbukcheon Operates Up to Social Distancing Level 2.0

Seoul Civil Defense Training Center Temporary Screening Clinic to Operate Only Until the 14th Following Existing Policy

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) will continue to operate the COVID-19 temporary screening clinic installed at Seongbukcheon Baram Madang (Bomun-ro 168) up to social distancing level 2.

According to the original plan, the temporary screening clinic was scheduled to be dismantled after the Lunar New Year holiday, but a district official explained that the operation was extended to prevent additional spread in the area. However, the clinic installed in front of the Seoul Metropolitan Civil Defense Education Center (Hwarang-ro 376) will operate only until the 14th as per the existing policy.

After the Lunar New Year holiday, the temporary screening clinic at Seongbukcheon Baram Madang will operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends.

If a cold wave advisory is issued, operating hours will be shortened to between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Also, while the temporary screening clinic has been conducting anonymous tests, from the 15th onward, testing will switch to real-name registration.

A district official stated, “We plan to consider suspending the operation of the temporary screening clinic when social distancing is lowered to level 1.5,” and added, “Anyone can get tested regardless of symptoms or epidemiological links, so we ask for your cooperation in blocking asymptomatic infections through testing.”
