On the 9th at 8:30 PM, Mayor Yoo visited an apartment in Imun-dong where the 8th confirmed case in Dongdaemun District resides. On this day, Mayor Yoo met with representatives of the residents to discuss measures regarding the confirmed case, explained in detail through the apartment’s broadcast system about △disinfection of the confirmed case’s movement paths and residence △the district office’s response status, and urged residents to comply with COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

On the day the confirmed case was identified (the 7th), the district office urgently transferred the confirmed patient to Seonam Hospital for inpatient treatment, and completed specimen testing for family members and other contacts, instructing them to self-quarantine.

Additionally, immediately upon confirming the case, the district office sent disaster safety messages, and disclosed the confirmed patients’ movement paths on the district office website and social media platforms (blog, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) so residents could quickly check.

Along with this, the district office identified the confirmed patient’s movement paths and promptly conducted disinfection, distributed 600 masks and 490 hand sanitizers to residents in the complex who had a high risk of contact with the patient, and placed hand sanitizers in the elevators.

Earlier, on the 28th of last month, when the first confirmed case in Dongdaemun District occurred, Mayor Yoo visited the apartment in Huigyeong-dong where the patient resided, explained the disinfection status to resident representatives and residents, and distributed 2,100 masks and 2,100 hand sanitizers to the residents.

On the 8th, when seven confirmed cases occurred simultaneously in Dongdaemun District, the district is mobilizing all administrative resources to respond and block further spread within the area.

Furthermore, to prevent additional transmission, disinfection is being conducted immediately on the confirmed patients’ movement paths and residences, and measures such as suspending store operations are being implemented.

Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol of Dongdaemun District stated, “We will provide all information to residents as quickly as possible when confirmed cases occur,” and added, “We will mobilize all staff day and night to do our best to protect the safety of our citizens.”
