This disinfection was carried out through sterilization work targeting viruses and bacteria by a professional company, thoroughly disinfecting department offices, the comprehensive civil service center, meeting rooms, corridors, and more inside the district office from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM before working hours.

The district continuously conducts disinfection work by sterilizing facilities used by unspecified many people once daily with disinfectant, including corridors, elevators, handrails, and door handles.

Disinfection of the buildings of 17 community service centers within the area will also be carried out sequentially from the 3rd to the 5th. On the 3rd, disinfection work was completed for eight districts including Ihwa-dong and Hyehwa-dong; on the 4th, work will be conducted for five districts including Cheongunhyoja-dong and Samcheong-dong; and on the 5th, disinfection will be carried out for four districts including Sajik-dong.

Additionally, the district is taking thorough measures to prevent novel coronavirus infection by distributing masks to employees working in the civil service center and placing hand sanitizers in meeting rooms and the civil service center.

Activities at the community service centers to protect residents' health are also ongoing. Sajik-dong delivered about 200 bars of soap to low-income elderly who are relatively vulnerable to health issues, and welfare planners visited the homes of elderly with mobility difficulties to provide guidance on novel coronavirus prevention behavior guidelines.

Pyeongchang-dong visited low-income households such as elderly living alone and single-parent families to provide guidance on novel coronavirus prevention behavior guidelines, and visiting nurses conducted health consultations.
