[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Andong City Public Health Center announced on the 20th that it will resume general medical treatment and issuance of certificates starting from the 22nd, as the spread of COVID-19 in the Gyeongbuk region has recently stagnated.

Since December 15 last year, during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, Andong City Public Health Center temporarily suspended civil service operations and has since focused all personnel on expanding screening clinics and conducting epidemiological investigations.

Although the current situation requires focusing on COVID-19 response and vaccination efforts to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, the health center explained that this decision was made to minimize citizens' inconvenience caused by the prolonged suspension of civil services and to promote smooth public health services.

A health center official urged, "We ask visiting citizens to strictly follow quarantine rules such as wearing masks and checking body temperature, and actively cooperate to prevent COVID-19 infection."
