[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Changwon-si Seongsan-gu (District Mayor Cha Sang-hee) announced on the 24th that it has assigned dedicated public officials for self-quarantined individuals in the district to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


The dedicated public official system for self-quarantined individuals designates a one-on-one public official responsible for managing each quarantined person. These officials check symptoms twice daily by phone and prepare reports until the quarantine period ends. If symptoms appear, they immediately notify the public health center to proceed with testing.


They also distribute guidelines for daily living and manuals for handling household waste to self-quarantined individuals, and provide emergency daily necessities, supporting their daily life.



Through one-on-one monitoring, if non-compliance with quarantine is detected, the individual is immediately ordered to return. If they refuse, the officials cooperate with the police station to promptly locate and take necessary actions.
