[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG announced on the 4th that it will provide dormitories and training centers in the Gyeongbuk region with a total of 550 rooms as residential treatment centers for confirmed COVID-19 patients.

LG explained that the facilities provided as residential treatment centers are the Gumi LG Display dormitory with 383 rooms and the Uljin LG Life Training Center with 167 rooms.

The LG Display Gumi dormitory is located in the 2nd Industrial Complex in Gumi-si, Gyeongbuk. It has a total floor area of 25,000㎡ and consists of 267 studio-type rooms with bathrooms and 116 apartment-type rooms with two rooms and a bathroom. It can accommodate up to 499 people.

Since establishing its first factory in Gumi in 1995, LG Display has been developing Gumi as a production base for small and medium-sized plastic OLEDs, and decided to support the shortage of medical treatment facilities in the field to share the difficulties of the local community.

The LG Life Training Center located in Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk, is a recreational facility for employees with a total floor area of about 22,000㎡ and 167 independent rooms. These facilities will be used as treatment centers where mild patients can be isolated and receive care from medical staff through consultations with local governments and others.

LG said, "We expect this to help provide prompt and efficient medical care by resolving the situation in Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions where about 2,000 confirmed patients have no choice but to wait at home due to a shortage of hospital beds."
