[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 11th at around 6 p.m., Yuseonghun, the mayor of Geumcheon-gu, directly boarded the Geumcheon 01 bus where a COVID-19 confirmed case had occurred.

This was to deliver a message of reassurance to residents who were anxious about using the village bus after one Geumcheon 01 bus driver from Beomil Transport, residing in Guro 5-dong, was confirmed positive on the 9th.

Immediately after the Geumcheon 01 village bus driver was confirmed positive on the 9th, the district temporarily suspended the operation of the Geumcheon 01 village bus and conducted disinfection three times on all vehicles (18 buses).

To minimize inconvenience to residents caused by the suspension of the Geumcheon 01 village bus, 10 city buses were deployed from the first trip on the 10th to operate on a shortened route. After seven drivers who had contact with the confirmed case tested negative, operation resumed at 2:02 p.m. on the 11th.

Mayor Yuseonghun said, “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to residents due to the unavoidable suspension of the Geumcheon 01 bus, which serves as the residents’ means of transportation. We have completed disinfection on all vehicles and plan to continue regular disinfection, so we hope residents can use the service with peace of mind.”
