[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The emergency room at Jeonnam National University Hospital will be closed until the 1st of next month. Face-to-face consultations will resume as scheduled on the 26th.
Jeonnam National University Hospital announced on the 25th that this decision was made after meetings with quarantine authorities and the heads of in-hospital medical departments.
The emergency room was expected to enter limited operation starting today, but the closure has been extended by one more week.
The hospital explained that the additional suspension of operations is a measure considering the situation in Main Building 1, which is under cohort isolation.
Face-to-face consultations will operate normally from the 26th. All departments will accept appointments for follow-up and first-time patients.
The continuation of non-face-to-face consultations such as phone consultations and prescriptions, which began on the 23rd, will be decided based on the judgment of each department and medical staff.
