[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) conducted disinfection and sterilization of 351 stores (approximately 36,009㎡) in seven markets (Donam, Jeongneung, Jeongneung Arirang, Gireum, Jangwi, Dolgoti, Bamnamugol) within the district to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus and to allow residents to visit the markets with peace of mind.


The district carried out the first round of coronavirus prevention disinfection over two days, on the 12th and 13th, through a professional disinfection company. Subsequently, a total of three rounds will be conducted during February and March, and from April onward, monthly coronavirus and pest control disinfection will be performed according to infectious disease prevention and management standards.


Additionally, hand sanitizers were provided to merchant associations in each market, placed in areas with high foot traffic, and notices on infection prevention guidelines were posted.


Furthermore, 140 portable spray disinfectants were supplied to each merchant association to enable market self-disinfection at least three times a week. Masks were distributed to each store to ensure that market merchants and customers can use the traditional markets safely and with confidence.



A district official stated, “As consumption contracts and the local economy faces difficulties, we will take proactive measures such as disinfection and distribution of preventive supplies so that customers visiting traditional markets can shop without anxiety about infections.” He added, “As the district office makes every effort in disinfection and sterilization, we ask the markets to actively promote and practice prevention guidelines to successfully overcome this situation.”
