[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dong-jin Lee) announced that the Saemaeul Leaders Dobong-gu Council's disinfection volunteer team has been conducting voluntary private-sector disinfection activities since the 4th, as the possibility of community spread of new infectious diseases is increasing.

To prevent the spread of infection within the region, 50 residents belonging to the Saemaeul Leaders Dobong-gu Council (Chairman Lee-seon Hwang) disinfection volunteer team have formed 10 groups and are actively participating in disinfection and sterilization volunteer work more than twice daily.

They are focusing their disinfection efforts on 20 bus stops along Dobong-ro, Dobong-gu, where there is heavy foot traffic, and around subway stations, using portable compressed disinfection sprayers directly.

Additionally, the Saemaeul Leaders disinfection volunteer team conducts continuous environmental cleanup activities along the Jungnangcheon riverside and vulnerable areas within Dobong-gu every year starting with a disinfection launch ceremony in April, using four disinfection vehicles and single-wheel disinfection machines.

The district holds a daily progress review meeting at 9 a.m. chaired by the vice mayor and a disaster safety countermeasures headquarters meeting twice a week chaired by the mayor to prepare and respond effectively to community transmission.

Furthermore, to share the heavy workload with limited personnel, additional staff have been dispatched to the health center and disaster safety countermeasures headquarters, and three thermal imaging cameras (two at the district office and one at the health center) have been installed to prioritize residents' safety and health in infectious disease prevention.

Mayor Dong-jin Lee of Dobong-gu said, “The Saemaeul disinfection volunteer team’s willingness to engage in disinfection volunteer work has been a great help,” and added, “We will do our utmost to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and alleviate the anxiety of our residents.” For inquiries, contact the Autonomous Village Division at 2091-2214.
