  "summary": "Seoul has announced that over 6,000 medical clinics and pharmacies will remain open during the Chuseok holiday, which runs from Thursday to Sunday. This move aims to alleviate potential medical shortages and ensure smooth management of both minor ailments and life-threatening conditions. The city’s 24-hour emergency response system will support the increased medical services, with approximately 1,547 institutions expected to operate daily across the capital. Residents are encouraged to seek care from neighborhood clinics for minor illnesses, rather than rushing to hospital emergency rooms. Basic over-the-counter remedies will also remain accessible at 6,926 designated locations throughout the city.",
