[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is making every effort to carry out disinfection activities throughout the district to alleviate residents' anxiety, prevent the spread of infection, and contain the virus after one confirmed case of the novel coronavirus was reported on the 30th of last month.

Following the announcement of a confirmed case within the district by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the district activated an emergency disinfection task force consisting of 12 members, implementing preemptive disinfection measures around the confirmed patient's movement paths and contacts.

On the 1st, despite it being a holiday, the district focused on disinfecting vulnerable places such as daycare centers, kindergartens, and senior centers, as well as major facilities frequently used by residents including all six subway stations and bus garages within the district, striving to prevent the spread of the infectious disease.

In particular, intensive disinfection was conducted around apartment complexes near Seoul Medical Center and in areas requested by residents. Disinfection efforts were strengthened especially around schools preparing to reopen, dedicating full efforts to ease residents' concerns.

The district produced and distributed 20,000 posters and 100 banners with the clear slogan "Wash, Cover, Contact" to emphasize infection prevention through daily life rules. Additionally, a hotline (2094-0800) was established for consultations related to the novel coronavirus, operating a 24-hour call center to provide residents with accurate information tailored to various situations.

Furthermore, the district secured 225,000 masks and 24,300 hand sanitizers for additional distribution and plans to conduct further disinfection activities with the Saemaul Leaders Association and local community groups.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “We will do our utmost to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and alleviate residents' anxiety by conducting additional disinfection measures in line with the progress of epidemiological investigations.” For inquiries, contact Jungnang-gu Office Health Administration Division (☎2094-0742).
