Wow, okay.

I've got tears in my eyes.

(upbeat rhythmic music)

You drive-through, almost as if you're going

to a McDonald's or a Starbucks.

I'm supposed to fill out this questionnaire

so that the health officials ahead of us

can identify whether or not I'm gonna need some testing.

They are taking my temperature, from both ears actually.

(speaking in a foreign language)

They've just shown me that my body temperature

is 36.6 degrees Celsius.

(speaking in a foreign language)

Ah.

It's very ticklish and a bit abrupt.

In a day or two, I will probably receive my results.

I will probably get them through text messages.

South Korea has seen cases rise more than 200-fold

in just a few weeks.

And a lot of that could be because testing

is so widespread here.

The government has set up more than 500

coronavirus testing sites, processing more than

210,000 people in a few weeks.

Some critics say that if the government had,

early on, closed its border with China

and restricted travel from the epicenter

of the country's epidemic, than maybe

it wouldn't have needed to create so many testing sites,

like this drive-through.

- This meant that COVID-19 can be characterized

as a pandemic.

(bright xylophone music)

- [Andrew] The biggest takeaway is that

the drive-through testing site is quick,

efficient and minimizes the risk

that potential patients might get the virus

from those who already have it.

The biggest limitation though, is you must be able to drive

and have access to a car to use this facility.

This probably means people who can't drive

or people with disabilities will face difficulty

in coming here and undertaking the test.
