Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Installs 'Fever Detectors' in the Lobby of the Government Building's 1st Floor

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Samho) announced on the 25th that it has installed a fever detector in the first-floor lobby of the Gwangsan District Office to ensure safe visits for citizens and to block infectious diseases in the local community amid the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

On the 22nd, the district strengthened the function of the screening clinic at the health center by relocating the existing screening clinic from inside the health center to the district office plaza and decided to conduct specimen collection and pneumonia tests for symptomatic individuals simultaneously.

Along with the installation of the fever detector, Gwangsan-gu closed the front and back gates of the health center.

At the same time, among the two entrances of the district office, the central passage was designated as the entrance and the right passage as the exit, creating a flow of movement where all citizens and public officials entering the district office must pass through the fever detector.

Kim Samho, Mayor of Gwangsan-gu, said, “The district office building is not a safe zone from COVID-19, and if the infection spreads within the administrative organization, public services will be interrupted, causing great confusion. Since the building is used by many citizens, we made this decision to block infectious diseases more thoroughly.”
