Osan City Activates Emergency Medical Services and Quarantine System During Chuseok Holiday

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-seong] Osan City will operate its emergency medical system from September 18 to 22 during the Chuseok holiday period.

To this end, Osan City's Health Department will establish an emergency medical situation room and monitor the status of open medical institutions and pharmacies while maintaining and inspecting the on-duty medical system.

In particular, with the cooperation of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Associations, 181 'open medical institutions and pharmacies' will be designated and operated by date during the Chuseok holiday period.

Additionally, the city plans to rapidly respond to cluster infection outbreaks and transmission by operating screening clinics for infectious disease prevention and COVID-19 response, as well as maintaining a 24-hour emergency quarantine response system for monitoring confirmed cases, those in self-isolation, and overseas arrivals.

Information on available medical institutions and pharmacies during the Chuseok holiday period can be found through Osan City's website (www.osan.go.kr), the Emergency Medical Portal E-Gen (www.e-gen.or.kr), the smartphone app "Emergency Medical Information," or by calling 129 (Ministry of Health and Welfare Call Center), 120 (Gyeonggi Province Call Center), or 119 (119 Emergency Response Center).
