Disinfection Completed at 117 Multi-Use Facilities Including Public Institutions, Marts, Garages, and Subway Stations... 17 Disinfection Teams Operating, Total of 1,180 Sites in the Region Undergoing or Scheduled for Disinfection Activities

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) strengthened its emergency response system by implementing quarantine and prevention measures throughout the district on the 30th of last month to prevent local spread and secondary infections amid the increase in confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus.

To carry out systematic and prompt quarantine activities, the district formed an additional 17 quarantine task forces: one emergency quarantine task force at the public health center and one team for each of the 16 neighborhoods. On the morning of the 4th at 9 a.m., training was conducted at the district office’s planning situation room and the central plaza to enable immediate deployment to the field.

The neighborhood quarantine teams operate in pairs of two as a principle, but for neighborhoods with many target facilities?Mug 1-dong, Mangwoo Bon-dong, Sinnae 1-dong, and Sinnae 2-dong?the teams consist of three members. The public health center’s emergency quarantine task force also operates in teams of three to prepare for any eventuality.

Alongside quarantine activities, Jungnang-gu plans to assign personnel to neighborhood community centers to provide guidance and publicity on disinfection so that residents can live with peace of mind.

With the novel coronavirus alert level raised to “caution,” the district formed an emergency quarantine task force and conducted disinfection activities last weekend at 13 subway stations within the district. In addition, disinfection was completed at a total of 117 locations, focusing on facilities mainly used by vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, including social welfare facilities, marts, public institutions, garages, and subway stations.

Going forward, Jungnang-gu plans to conduct or recommend disinfection activities at a total of 1,180 locations and will immediately carry out disinfection upon residents’ requests.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “While strengthening quarantine activities to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, we will operate screening clinics 24 hours a day to ensure the safety of residents.” He added, “We will do our best to make Jungnang a safe place where all residents can live securely.”
