[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The screening clinic at Jeonggwan Health Center in Gijang-gun, Busan, will operate until the end of COVID-19.

On the morning of the 5th, Gijang-gun held a 'Daily COVID-19 Response Situation Meeting' and decided to secure a budget to operate the screening clinic until the end of COVID-19.

Oh Gyu-seok, the head of Gijang-gun, stated, "Closing the screening clinic is like withdrawing a field hospital essential for the injured. The screening clinic is the last stronghold protecting the lives and safety of residents," adding, "It is time to spend public funds."

Accordingly, Gijang-gun will continue to operate the Jeonggwan Health Center screening clinic, which has been in operation since January 1st of this year, until the end of COVID-19.

The operating hours remain the same as before, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, and it will not operate on weekends and public holidays.

Since the Jeonggwan Health Center screening clinic is directly operated by Gijang-gun using its own budget, it is intended for Gijang-gun residents.

Gijang-gun residents who wish to receive a COVID-19 diagnostic test (nasopharyngeal swab PCR), regardless of symptoms or epidemiological relevance, can visit the screening clinic with their ID.

From January 1st until now, the Jeonggwan Health Center screening clinic has conducted COVID-19 diagnostic tests on 7,635 people and identified 9 confirmed cases.
