[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the afternoon of the 19th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon visited the 'Drive-Thru Temporary Screening Clinic' at the parking lot of the Simsang Memorial Culture Center in Seocho-gu, which began operation that morning, to check the operational status and encourage the staff who are devotedly working on the front lines of quarantine despite the heatwave.

At the 'Drive-Thru' temporary screening clinic, citizens receive COVID-19 tests while seated in their vehicles. The testing is not only rapid but also safe as there is no contact with other waiting individuals, and it offers the advantage of comfortable waiting even during the heatwave. Currently, it operates at two locations: the Seocho Sports Complex parking lot and the Simsang Memorial Culture Center parking lot in Seocho-gu, which opened that day.

Seoul City is expanding the operation of 'Temporary Screening Clinics' and 'Mobile Screening Clinics' to block the spread of COVID-19 and detect asymptomatic infections. With the addition of one more drive-thru temporary screening clinic today, there are currently 53 'Temporary Screening Clinics' and 8 'Mobile Screening Clinics' in operation.

Meanwhile, Mayor Oh visited the Mapo-gu Vaccination Center and Hapjeong Senior Citizens' Center on the 15th, the Seoul Institute of Health and Environment and Ttukseom Hangang Park on the 16th, and during the weekend, he consecutively visited the Seoul National University of Science and Technology Living Treatment Center and the Nowon-gu Office parking lot temporary screening clinic, intensively inspecting COVID-19 quarantine sites.
