Taking on-the-spot samples from patients is also possible."There are currently four booths in operation.Up to ten people can receive health screenings per hour.Since each one is about the size of a regular telephone booth, it takes less than two minutes to disinfect after use."It was really quick and convenient. I was happy to be done so fastI think it took less than 10 minutes."The booth system will also be a welcome sign for those who cannot drive or do not own a vehicle."Unlike the ‘drive-thru' test centers, these booths can be installed in much smaller spaces and they're easily accessible on foot."As more people hope to be screened,the new 'walk-thru' test booth presents a safer and time-saving method for both patients and doctors.It could also become South Korea's next exemplary model of COVID-19 screening for the global village battling against the virus.Kan Hyeong-woo, Arirang News.
