The average number of patients who visited the emergency medical center during the Chuseok holidays last year was 28,000 per day.

On Chuseok Day and the following day, it increased to twice the number on weekdays and 1.5 times on weekends, and on Chuseok Eve, more than 29,000 people visited hospitals.

During the three days before and after Chuseok, hives increased 3 times more than usual, colds 2.8 times, and enteritis 2 times.

To minimize medical inconvenience, there are medical institutions that are open during the Chuseok holidays this year.

There are more than 500 emergency rooms across the country, 300 health centers, 2,000 private hospitals and clinics, and more than 4,000 pharmacies.

In particular, as the Corona 19 incident continues, more than 420 screening clinics continue to receive treatment.

Specific information can be obtained through the Health and Wellbeing Call Center No. 129, the specific call centers of the province 120 and 119.
