Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital says it has developed the one-stop clinic to protect staff and free them from the burden of wearing full-body protective gear in the sweltering heat. Previously, patients with fever or respiratory symptoms had to wait long hours to gain access to a doctor and had to be isolated.
A minimum number of nurses like Joung Eun-sol, 23, are needed on site for basic Covid-19 testing or temperature checks and they no longer need to put on Level D protection gear — gloves, safety glasses, face shield and chemical-resistant boots.
