KakaoMap Provides Search Service for COVID-19 'Rapid Antigen Test' Centers

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Kakao's mobile map app KakaoMap announced on the 9th that it provides a search service for institutions where COVID-19 'rapid antigen tests' can be taken.

To use the service, users can either directly search for 'rapid antigen test' in the KakaoMap search bar or click the 'rapid antigen test' button located at the bottom of the search bar. All institutions where testing is available, including screening clinics, temporary screening clinics, designated respiratory medical institutions, and respiratory specialized clinics, can be checked at once. The list of testing institutions will be continuously updated.

The KakaoMap 'rapid antigen test' institution search service is available on the mobile KakaoMap app (Android, iOS), mobile web, and PC. Users can also check various COVID-19 related information through KakaoMap, such as screening clinics and vaccination sites with real-time reservations for leftover vaccines.

Meanwhile, the information about 'rapid antigen test' institutions provided by KakaoMap is based on data from the public data portal's application programming interface (API) and data provided by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.

A KakaoMap official stated, "Due to the restructuring of the COVID-19 testing system, the demand for searching rapid antigen test institutions has increased, leading to the introduction of this related feature," and added, "KakaoMap will continue to enhance location information functions and services to improve users' quality of life."
