[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea District Heating Corporation (KDHC) announced on the 24th that it held an emergency countermeasure meeting to review the response situation to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and discuss future response plans.

Hwang Changhwa, president of KDHC, views the upcoming weeks as a critical turning point that will determine the spread of COVID-19.

KDHC has established and is continuously operating its own emergency response headquarters to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

President Hwang urged all employees to carry out their essential duties, such as stable district heating supply, without disruption, centered around the emergency response headquarters.

Reflecting the meeting results, KDHC will strengthen quarantine activities at the Daegu branch, where confirmed COVID-19 cases are rapidly increasing.

The regular personnel appointments scheduled for the 2nd of next month will be postponed by one week, construction work except for urgent projects will be temporarily suspended, and face-to-face meetings, company dinners, and attendance at celebrations or condolences will be prohibited.

At all 19 workplaces including the headquarters, KDHC has mandated temperature checks for all entrants, replaced large-scale on-site group training with online courses, and temporarily suspended the operation of the promotional exhibition hall tour program.

President Hwang stated, "KDHC will take the lead in overcoming COVID-19 by deploying all possible human and material resources centered on our emergency response headquarters until the crisis situation subsides."
