H Plus Yangji Hospital Allows Entry Without QR Screening... "Operating a Flexible Quarantine System"
Outpatient and Inpatient Wards Maintain Existing System
Walk-Through Screening Clinic Reservation System Operated
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] H Plus Yangji Hospital announced on the 28th that it will discontinue the QR screening system, which had been used as the in-hospital access control system, and allow visitors to freely enter and exit the hospital.
The hospital explained, "Although the new variant, Stealth Omicron, has higher transmissibility compared to the existing Omicron, there is no significant difference in severity and hospitalization rates, so we judged that the existing quarantine system is sufficient for prevention. Based on this, we made this decision to enable a flexible quarantine response."
Accordingly, the operation of kiosks installed at the hospital main entrance, underground parking floors, and emergency medical center has been discontinued, allowing visitors to enter the hospital without separate QR screening or temperature checks.
