Eunpyeong-gu to Control COVID-19 Through 'Public-Private Joint' Efforts

Public-Private Joint '1-on-1 Dedicated Management System' Operation... Team Leaders of Each District Office Department and Responsible Tongjang Activities

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The public and private sectors are joining forces to prevent risks in the local community.

On February 21, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 occurred at Catholic University Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital (hereinafter Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital). As additional confirmed cases emerged at Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital, Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) decided to implement a joint public-private management task force to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and minimize residents' anxiety.

This joint public-private management task force centers on monitoring 260 Eunpyeong-gu residents working at Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital, pairing 134 team leaders from various district office departments with two community leaders (tongjang) per pair to conduct one-on-one monitoring.

Through this joint management task force, the 134 team leaders and community leaders will monitor the real-time health status of the subjects and continue to provide living and manpower support in cooperation with related organizations.

Furthermore, by establishing a close communication network with the monitoring subjects, they aim to track the subjects' movements and provide accurate information to residents, making every effort to dispel community anxiety caused by fake news.

In addition, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community, 300,000 promotional materials have been produced for households and facilities within the area, and comprehensive publicity efforts are being promoted to local residents.

District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung stated, “As the COVID-19 response crisis alert has been raised to the ‘serious’ level, Eunpyeong-gu will exert the maximum authority available as a local government and devote all efforts to overcoming the current situation until it ends,” pledging to do everything the autonomous district can to end COVID-19.
