For example, people in the age group born on the 9, 19 and 29 may make appointments from 8 p.m. on Monday, August 9 to 6 p.m. the following day.

About 16-point-two million eligible people in this group may make reservations online via the task force website (https://ncvr.kdca.go.kr) after verifying their identities.
