Korea is taking innovative steps to fight the coronavirus pandemic.

The "walk-through" screening clinic allows testing for COVID-19 more easily and quickly.

I'm here in the city of Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do Province, to visit the province's first walk-through screening clinic.

Testing is done in a negative pressure chamber partitioned off from medical staff taking samples.


The test takes just three minutes and the results come out within a day.

Those to be tested are asked to bring protective masks and gloves and must self-isolate until the results come out.
