During this Lunar New Year holiday, face-to-face interviews will be held for residents of nursing facilities.



Meals are also available at highway rest areas.



Except for wearing a mask indoors, you can see a similar landscape to before Corona 19.



Although the 7th epidemic has already subsided, the government has decided to operate public health center screening clinics and temporary screening clinics normally, considering the situation where there are still many confirmed cases.



During the holiday season, anyone can undergo a PCR test at six highway rest areas, including Anseong and Incheon.



About 5,800 one-stop medical institutions where you can receive corona tests and prescriptions are operated, and an on-duty pharmacy is also designated.
