[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will install and operate two temporary screening clinics at major tourist sites within the region starting from the 18th, due to the increased movement of tourists between areas during the autumn foliage season, which could worsen the quarantine situation.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters announced on the 8th the autumn travel quarantine management measures, deciding to install and operate temporary screening clinics at major tourist sites such as famous mountains and national park entrances to enable proactive diagnostic testing. After receiving applications from health centers in cities and counties nationwide, a total of 10 sites were selected for operation.

The county applied for two temporary screening clinics at Woodland and Cheongwansan and decided to operate them temporarily for four weeks from the 18th until mid-next month.

County Governor Jeong Jong-soon said, “We will maintain a 24-hour emergency medical system including COVID-19 screening clinics at all times,” and urged, “If you have abnormal symptoms such as fever, sore throat, or cough, please get tested immediately at the screening clinic and cooperate in preventing COVID-19.”
