Yeonggwang-gun Extends Operation of Screening Clinics Until 10 PM on the Day Before the College Scholastic Ability Test

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 12th that it will extend the operation hours of the COVID-19 screening clinic from 6 PM to 10 PM on the 17th, the day before the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

This is a preemptive measure as a special COVID-19 prevention strategy to protect test-takers from infectious diseases and prevent the spread to the local community in preparation for the CSAT scheduled for the 18th.

Those subject to testing include CSAT examinees and supervisors who have symptoms suspected of COVID-19 such as fever and cough, and they can receive immediate testing upon visiting the screening clinic.

Additionally, to block infectious diseases and minimize anxiety among examinees and parents, special disinfection and inspections will be conducted at two CSAT test sites within the jurisdiction.

A health center official stated, “Through this special COVID-19 prevention measure, we will do our best to protect the safety of examinees so that confirmed cases and those in self-quarantine can take the CSAT without any difficulties.”
