[Photo] Expansion of In-Person Treatment for COVID-19 Positive Cases Starting Today

From the 30th, COVID-19 confirmed patients will be able to receive face-to-face consultations more easily at nearby local clinics. Starting from this day, hospital-level medical institutions can provide in-person consultations to confirmed patients on the same day without a separate review process if they apply for designation as a Home Treatment Outpatient Center to the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Clinic-level medical institutions can do the same starting from the 4th of next month. As of midnight on this day, the number of home treatment patients nationwide was recorded at 1,712,515. On this day, a notice was posted at The Bon Hospital in Dongjak-gu, Seoul. This hospital separated some consultation rooms for face-to-face consultations and COVID-19 testing for confirmed patients and prepared a separate waiting area for patients.
