Lee Sung, Guro-gu Mayor, "Earnestly Request Voluntary Social Distancing"

Emergency COVID-19 Response Meeting on the 3rd... Request to Refrain from Worship and Gatherings for 2 Weeks

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Lee Seong, the mayor of Guro District, requested "voluntary social distancing."

At the COVID-19 emergency countermeasure meeting held on the 3rd at the district office's Changui Hall, Mayor Lee said, "To prevent the spread of COVID-19, voluntary social distancing by residents over the next two weeks is very important," and added, "I earnestly ask everyone to refrain from going out as much as possible and to reduce movement and gatherings even at the workplace."

Mayor Lee stated, "Looking at the Shincheonji case, worship services where many people gather, especially overnight prayer meetings where people pray loudly for long hours without wearing masks, are very vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus," and requested, "Please refrain from attending in-person worship services for the time being and replace them with online services."

He also urged district office employees, "This is a very important time for quarantine. Please make thorough efforts to ensure there are no gaps in quarantine by deploying personnel from facilities such as the Facility Management Corporation, whose work has decreased due to closures."
