Gwangju Seo-gu Health Center "COVID-19 Test Registration Now Available from Home"

Introduction of Electronic Questionnaire Using QR Code

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Seo Dae-seok) announced on the 8th that it introduced electronic questionnaires using QR codes in August.

This was introduced to reduce the waiting time for COVID-19 test candidates and to prevent cross-infection caused by unnecessary contact between medical staff and testees.

Through electronic questionnaires using QR codes, errors in testee information from the previous handwritten questionnaires can be corrected, and testees can reduce waiting time by simply verifying their identity after completing the electronic questionnaire before taking the test.

The testing process via electronic questionnaires proceeds as follows: access the Seo-gu Office official website → click on the COVID-19 test electronic questionnaire on the main screen → fill out and submit the questionnaire → visit the screening clinic for identity verification and testing.

In addition to the Seo-gu Office website, QR codes and URL addresses can also be accessed through official SNS channels (Facebook, Instagram).

For those unfamiliar with mobile devices, electronic questionnaires can be completed at the entrance of Seo-gu Public Health Center through banners, signboards, and notices, and staff can assist with the questionnaire using tablet PCs.

The electronic questionnaire must be submitted within 24 hours before visiting and can be conveniently completed at home or in a car.

Seo Dae-seok, Mayor of Seo-gu, said, “Through the introduction of electronic questionnaires, we hope to block cross-infection between medical staff and testees in preparation for the spreading variant virus and reduce the waiting time for testees, thereby alleviating residents’ fatigue.”

The Seo-gu Public Health Center screening clinic operates year-round from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and visitors can get tested except during the disinfection time from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
