Yeonggwang-gun Operates 'Temporary Screening Clinics' for Vacation Season

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 21st that it will operate a 'temporary screening clinic' on Baeksu Coastal Road until the 31st in accordance with the special quarantine measures period of Jeollanam-do.

The temporary screening clinic operates only on Saturdays and Sundays, when many tourists visit during the summer vacation season.

In addition, it conducts COVID-19 prevention rule compliance education and publicity, and rapid antigen tests that can confirm test results within 10 to 20 minutes, which is expected to help early detection of confirmed cases and prevent spread.

The county is actively promoting that vaccinated people must wear masks indoors and outdoors at all times due to the ongoing 4th wave caused by the balloon effect from the recent surge in confirmed cases in the metropolitan area and the rapid increase of asymptomatic infections in the local community, and that visitors from the metropolitan area and other regions should get COVID-19 diagnostic tests.

The health center screening clinic is extended to operate until 8 p.m.

A health center official said, "We will do our best to proactively block the external inflow chain of COVID-19 and make the county safe from COVID-19."
