[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hyundai Motor Group announced on the 9th that it will provide two group training centers located in the Gyeongbuk region as living treatment centers for mild COVID-19 patients in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk areas. This is to assist the smooth treatment of mild patients who are self-isolating due to the shortage of hospital beds in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions.

The group training centers provided by Hyundai Motor Group are the Gyeongju Talent Development Training Center and the Global Win-Win Cooperation Center, located in Yangnam-myeon, Gyeongju City. They are four stories above ground and two stories underground. The Gyeongju Talent Development Training Center has 193 rooms, and the Global Win-Win Cooperation Center has 187 rooms, totaling 380 accommodation rooms, along with lecture rooms and dining facilities.

A Hyundai Motor Group official stated, “We expect that systematic and prompt treatment for COVID-19 patients will lead to quick recovery and contribute to preventing further spread.”

Hyundai Motor Group originally planned to sequentially equip lodging and living convenience facilities starting in March, conduct a pilot operation at the end of March, and officially open in May. However, considering the shortage of beds for mild COVID-19 patients in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions and the government’s request for support, they decided to complete essential facility improvements and inspections as urgently as possible and provide the centers.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor Group is actively engaged in preventing the spread of COVID-19 and supporting damage recovery.

They donated 5 billion KRW to the National Disaster Relief Association and are providing relief and quarantine supplies as well as prevention and quarantine activities targeting medical staff, victims, and disaster-vulnerable groups. Additionally, they supported emergency funds worth 1 trillion KRW to small and medium-sized parts suppliers facing business difficulties. Hyundai Motor Company’s labor and management have also agreed on special measures to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, pledging to make multifaceted efforts to ensure that partner companies can secure stable orders throughout the year.
