Confirmed Case Visited Seocho-gu Restaurant 'Nunmul' Turns into 'Useum'...

Immediate and Thorough Response to Restaurants Visited by Local COVID-19 Cases... District Mayor and Seoul Mayor Personally Visit and Deliver Messages of Support, Residents Share Relay Stories of Care and Warmth...

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Amid the spread of the novel coronavirus, a warm relay of support from Seocho-gu (District Mayor Cho Eun-hee) and residents continues for restaurants in Seocho-gu that confirmed patients have visited.

When the 8th confirmed case occurred, the district, with the consent of the owner of the ○○ restaurant, reviewed CCTV footage and transparently disclosed the restaurant’s name, location, and measures taken.

However, due to continuous news coverage, customers stopped coming, and the restaurant’s sales sharply declined, causing severe economic damage.

To address this, the district took the lead. Continuous disinfection by the Seocho quarantine team was carried out, and cleanliness and hygiene were reinforced. On the 7th, Seocho District Mayor Cho Eun-hee personally visited the restaurant to deliver a warm message of support. Visits from district employees and local residents offering encouragement have also continued.

Additionally, on the 11th, Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon visited, dining with residents and offering encouragement and support. To revive the local economy, which has been stagnated due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, Seoul City, Seocho-gu, and residents will continue to join forces.

Accordingly, comments such as “I will definitely visit,” “It’s reassuring,” and “Awesome” have been posted in a supportive relay on the district’s Facebook, blog, and other platforms, creating a warm atmosphere.

The owner of the ○○ restaurant (age 47) expressed gratitude in a comment, saying, “Thanks to Seocho District Office’s prompt and thorough response, the damage is being minimized. I was newly impressed by the district office’s handling and even more so by the mayor’s attentiveness. I sincerely thank you for your various supports, including the personal visit.”

Currently, the district continues transparent public administration regarding patient occurrences and movement routes to prevent resident confusion. The district’s website (http://www.seocho.go.kr) is updated daily and promptly with 24-hour response information such as the status of active monitoring within the area, management of multi-use facilities, lodging facilities, and class cancellations. Residents who wish to receive “Seocho Coronavirus News” are sent text messages so they can live with greater peace of mind.

Also, when the Seoul Human Resources Development Institute was designated as a quarantine facility in the area on the 7th, the mature civic consciousness of the residents shone. Immediate and thorough disinfection and the emergency provision of about 13,000 masks to nearby residents and facilities earned their trust and confidence, and there were no severe objections or complaints from residents.

Grateful messages from parents and related parties continue in a relay. A parent who identified herself as a ○○ mom, including the principal of an elementary school near the Human Resources Development Institute, sent a thank-you message expressing gratitude for the thorough disinfection carried out even on holidays to ensure students’ safe school life.

District Mayor Cho Eun-hee said, “We are responding by pooling all the district’s capabilities, and I deeply thank the residents for their mature civic consciousness. Our residents, who stand together with neighbors in difficult times, are the driving force that will help us overcome this crisis.”
