Since the COVID-19 situation escalated to a 'serious' level, the appearance of government offices has changed like this.

According to the Central Disease Control Headquarters, as of 9 a.m. that day, 161 additional COVID-19 cases were reported compared to the count at 4 p.m. the previous day, bringing the total confirmed domestic cases to 763, reaching a serious stage.

Accordingly, government offices including Seongdong-gu Office have been requiring temperature checks for all entrants since the previous day.

Along with this, Seongdong-gu provides free masks to people entering the office without wearing one after recording their name and phone number.

A Seongdong-gu official said, "If the virus breaches government offices, the COVID-19 situation will become uncontrollable," adding, "We must maintain maximum vigilance this week."
