South Korea Sets Up Foreigner Only COVID-19 Test Site in Seoul
For any foreigner that wants to get easily tested for COVID-19 head on over to the Seoul Sports Complex. The article says it takes about 15 minutes to get tested:
A walkthrough virus screening center for overseas entrants opened at a major sports complex in southeastern Seoul on Friday amid a continued increase in imported cases.
The screening center, which Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon claimed could test up to 1,000 people per day, was set up at Seoul Sports Complex, the site of the 1986 Asian Games and 1988 Summer Olympics.
On the first day of operation, the screening venue appeared mostly quiet, with around 10 people visiting during a two-hour slot.
Visitors said they came to the walkthrough to be tested promptly.
“I arrived (in South Korea) on Thursday and have been taking a language course in San Diego,” said a 23-year-old who lives in the northeastern ward of Nowon. “I was told that it would take some time for me to be tested at the Nowon health center, which is why I came here.”
