Gwangjin-gu, Temperature Check at Dong Seoul Terminal Drop-off Area

From the 5th until the situation stabilizes, temperature checks for passengers alighting at Dongseoul Terminal... Operated in two shifts of 5 people each daily from 8 AM to 10 PM

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has been conducting temperature checks on passengers disembarking at Dongseoul Terminal since the 5th to prevent the spread of COVID-19 community infections.

The district judged that Dongseoul Terminal, which has a large floating population and is a route through which people enter Seoul from other regions, poses a high risk of infection, and decided to conduct temperature checks on disembarking passengers until the COVID-19 situation stabilizes.

The operation is carried out daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., with five district office staff, volunteers, and Dongseoul Terminal officials assigned in two shifts. When passengers get off at the Dongseoul Terminal disembarkation area, each person’s temperature is checked one by one.

If a person with a high fever is detected, they are guided to move to the Gwangjin-gu screening clinic for retesting.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “Since the virus has strong transmissibility, we decided to conduct temperature checks at the Dongseoul Terminal disembarkation area because we cannot rule out the possibility of infection even for people who are just passing through. We will strive to ensure that no more confirmed cases occur in the district through a thorough quarantine system.”

The district has been measuring the temperature of users and conducting disinfection at least once daily since January 28.
