In the ongoing fight against COVID-19, South Korea is making significant strides with innovative testing methods. Dr. Kim Sang-il, president of H Plus Yangji Hospital in Seoul, has been at the forefront of this battle. Together with his dedicated team, Dr. Kim has developed a groundbreaking approach known as the \"single infection safety treatment booth.\"
This new method dramatically increases the efficiency of detecting COVID-19 patients, allowing for the screening of 70-80 individuals in an eight-hour shift. This represents a tenfold improvement over traditional testing methods.
Currently, more than 20 hospitals across South Korea have adopted the single infection safety treatment booth. This widespread implementation not only enhances the speed of testing but also plays a crucial role in saving valuable time and lives, ensuring that the country remains resilient in the face of the pandemic.
