[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the afternoon of the 23rd, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon visited the 'Capital Defense Command' to express his gratitude to the military personnel supporting the frontline quarantine sites such as temporary screening clinics and vaccination centers in response to COVID-19.

Mayor Oh said, "As the number of temporary screening clinics has increased, there has been a significant shortage of personnel, but the Capital Defense Command has provided a lot of support. I am grateful. It has been a great help," and added, "It must be very difficult in the heat, but seeing all of you makes me feel reassured. Citizens will also be thankful."

Kim Do-gyun, Commander of the Capital Defense Command, said, "The Shield Soldiers always act with the mindset of being together with the ten million citizens of the capital," and "We will do our best to contribute to COVID-19 prevention."

The Capital Defense Command has been supporting COVID-19 prevention efforts since December last year, currently dispatching military personnel to 35 temporary screening clinics to assist in early detection of confirmed cases and containment of spread. Additionally, they provide security support at 43 vaccination centers and administrative support at 7 locations to ensure smooth vaccination operations.
