[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) has improved the working environment for medical staff wearing protective suits during the summer by installing a Glove-Wall specimen booth equipped with air conditioning at the temporary screening clinic in Myeonmok Station Plaza.

The Glove-Wall is a system that separates the space between medical staff and examinees with a transparent acrylic wall and allows testing without contact with patients through holes fitted with vinyl gloves.

The newly installed Glove-Wall specimen booth is divided into three separate testing rooms, enabling faster testing of many people. It is equipped with positive pressure and air conditioning facilities to protect medical staff from infection and heat.

The temporary screening clinic located at Exit 3 of Myeonmok Station Plaza offers free testing to any resident who wishes to be tested.

Operating hours are weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (disinfection time from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.), and weekends and holidays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. So far, 73,024 people have been tested here, with an average of 465 tests conducted daily.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “With this installation, we hope to improve the working environment for medical staff and ensure that residents can be tested safely. We will strive to detect asymptomatic infections early and block infection routes to protect the health and safety of our residents.”
