Kim Sam-ho, Mayor of Gwangsan District, Gwangju, Visits Advanced General Hospital... Expresses Gratitude

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Dong-han] Kim Sam-ho, Mayor of Gwangsan District, Gwangju Metropolitan City, visited the Advanced General Hospital to express his gratitude to the medical staff who are working hard to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection.

According to Gwangsan District on the 29th, Mayor Kim's visit was prompted by the upgrade of the novel coronavirus crisis alert in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, from 'Caution' to 'Warning.'

In addition, Gwangsan District is operating a 24-hour emergency quarantine task force to block and prevent the spread of the infectious disease.

The emergency quarantine task force is especially promoting measures such as assigning dedicated 1:1 monitors for patient contacts, setting up screening clinics, and securing negative pressure beds.

A Gwangsan District official said, "If you have a fever of 37.5℃ or higher and respiratory symptoms such as coughing after visiting China, please do not visit medical institutions immediately but report to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency call center (1339) or the Gwangsan District Public Health Center Infectious Disease Management Team."
