Nowon-gu, Related Organizations and Groups Join Forces to Overcome COVID-19

Every morning, the district office head contacts related department chiefs to explain the district's COVID-19 response status for infectious disease prevention and urges safety efforts such as facility-level compliance with prevention guidelines.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) is making every effort to prevent infectious diseases by making welfare calls to workers at related facilities or organizations managed by the district office to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Starting from the 2nd, every morning, the heads of relevant departments at the district office explain the current status of the district office's COVID-19 response for infectious disease prevention through welfare calls and urge safety efforts such as compliance with facility-level prevention rules.

Nowon-gu has a total of 132 related organizations and facilities, including the Nowon-gu branch of the Korea Senior Citizens Association, with as many as 2,046 workers. Since these organizations directly manage businesses or workers, they can properly hear voices from the field.

These related organizations and facilities not only check the safety of workers but also play a role in receiving requests from the field and delivering them to the district office. Distribution of hand sanitizers and quarantine support are representative examples.

As a result of the welfare calls, 1,149 cases were received from 194 facilities and related organizations over two days. The district office classifies these opinions and has the relevant departments handle them immediately.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “Although everyone is going through difficult and challenging times, I hope that workers at district office-related facilities cooperate with the district office to wisely overcome this crisis.”
