Suwon and Yongin Join Forces for Joint COVID-19 Response

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City and Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will jointly respond to block the spread of 'COVID-19'.

On the 11th, Suwon City and Yongin City signed a 'Business Agreement for Joint Infectious Disease Response' at the Suwon City Hall Situation Room and formed a 'Joint Infectious Disease Council'.

The two organizations will establish a cooperative system, including setting up a 'hotline' to prepare for infectious disease outbreaks and sharing confirmed patients' movement information in advance. They also agreed to promote joint quarantine efforts based on human and material support.

The two organizations will also disclose COVID-19 related information according to principles such as ▲ notifying the initial situation of confirmed cases via disaster text messages ▲ disclosing confirmed patients' movement paths on each local government's website and SNS ▲ sharing and announcing prior information on movement paths linked with adjacent local governments.

They also agreed to strengthen infectious disease response capabilities by sharing infectious disease management policies, projects, and major cases, and to work together to improve laws and systems related to infectious diseases.

Since the two organizations are in the same living area connected by transportation networks, local residents frequently visit each other. Recently, it was confirmed that a confirmed patient from Yongin City visited Suwon City.

Yeom Tae-young, Mayor of Suwon City, said, "If Suwon City and Yongin City share COVID-19 response standards such as disclosing confirmed patients' movement paths and respond jointly, it will prevent confusion among citizens," adding, "We will do our best to respond so that citizens can live with peace of mind."

Baek Gun-gi, Mayor of Yongin City, said, "Since Yongin City and Suwon City share the same living area, joint response is important," and urged, "I hope Yongin City and Suwon City communicate and cooperate not only in COVID-19 response but also in overall administration."

Earlier, on the 3rd, Suwon City signed a 'Business Agreement for Joint Infectious Disease Response' with Hwaseong and Osan Cities.
