[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that the Civil Service Division has established response measures to proactively prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Accordingly, for the issuance of certificates, the use of unmanned civil service issuance machines available 24 hours a day and the Government24 issuance service is being actively encouraged. This measure aims to minimize face-to-face contact with civil petitioners in preparation for any emergency.

Government24 is a service provided by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, allowing users to access it anytime and anywhere via the internet without visiting administrative offices in person, making it a very convenient service. It also offers fee reduction benefits and enables the issuance of documents such as resident registration certificates, building registers, land registers, cadastral maps, vehicle registration certificates, and agricultural registers.

The county has currently installed thermal cameras at the entrance of the Civil Service Division to check the temperature of entrants and has strengthened access control.

Additionally, hand sanitizers have been placed at unmanned civil service issuance machines and civil service counters inside the office, all staff are required to wear masks, and the entire civil service office is disinfected twice daily by spraying, making every effort to prevent infection.

Furthermore, as part of proactive civil administrative services, the nighttime passport issuance service, which had been in operation, was temporarily suspended starting from the 26th of last month. This decision was made to minimize residents' nighttime movement and prevent the spread of the virus.

Lee Seung-ok, the mayor of Gangjin-gun, visited the civil service office on the 2nd to encourage the staff who are doing their best under difficult circumstances and stated, “We are putting all our efforts into disinfection and maintaining cleanliness, and I hope all residents will work together to prevent the spread of the virus.”
