The daytime drive-through testing station installed between the main building of YU Medical Center and the steel-framed parking lot will be operated only during the day from 08:30 to 17:30 as of now. After these hours, the testing station in front of the YU Medical Center Regional Emergency Medicine Center will be opened until 22:30. Lunch is from 12:00 to 13:00 and the daytime testing center can be used also by pedestrians without vehicles.
A spokesperson for YU said, “We decided to operate the daytime testing station as a drive-through during hours when most people visit the station in case a person who comes for the coronavirus disease-19 test is tested positive,” while adding, “The entire registration, examination, payment, and specimen collection process is performed with the patient in the vehicle, therefore, it is expected that it will be possible to prevent infection and conduct testing efficiently.” It was added that in the event that many people come to the daytime drive-through testing center at one time, the hours can be changed, and the wait time may become quite long.
