Jeongeup-si, Prevents COVID-19 Spread... Social Welfare Multi-use Facilities 'Closed'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 26th that it will temporarily close social welfare multi-use facilities as the COVID-19 infectious disease disaster crisis alert has been raised to the 'serious' level.

Social welfare multi-use facilities are mostly used by vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, and due to the nature of the facilities, they are gathering places where many people come together in one space.

The city decided to temporarily close the facilities from that day until the virus stabilizes as a measure to prevent COVID-19 infection.

The Volunteer Center and Social Welfare Center postponed events and programs, and workers at the Regional Self-Sufficiency Center temporarily suspended operations and will resume after the COVID-19 situation stabilizes.

For recipients of basic food distribution conducted at the Social Welfare Center, welfare center staff prepared measures such as delivering directly to the target households.

Mayor Yoo Jin-seop said, “We will actively participate in the pan-government response to prevent the nationwide spread of COVID-19 and make every effort to ensure citizen safety,” adding, “We will thoroughly manage quarantine, including full disinfection of social welfare multi-use facilities.”
