Gwanak-gu Partners with Seoul National University to Actively Support Temporary Housing Facilities for Chinese International Students

Joint Task Force Formed with Seoul National University, Temporary Housing Secured for Chinese International Students...Ongoing Preventive Measures Including Hand Sanitizers, Ambulances, Lunch Boxes, and Protective Suits Provided

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) has partnered with Seoul National University to form a joint task force to respond to Chinese international students.

The task force has secured temporary housing facilities starting from early March, when a large number of Chinese international students arrive, providing pickup services from the airport to the dormitories and managing them exclusively for 14 days after their arrival.

The temporary housing facilities are located within Seoul National University, consisting of two buildings with about 100 rooms, and will operate until the end of March. Chinese international students will stay in these facilities for 14 days; those showing symptoms among dormitory residents will be tested at a screening clinic and then moved to temporary isolation facilities.

On the 10th, Mayor Park Junhee visited the temporary housing facilities and held a meeting with Vice President of Education Hong Kihyun to discuss countermeasures and additional support, promising to provide full assistance.

The district plans to continue providing disinfectants, protective suits, health center ambulances, hand sanitizers, and meal support according to Seoul National University dormitory admission plans through the task force.

In particular, on the 8th, the task force promptly transported three symptomatic individuals from the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions to screening clinics, making every effort to prevent community transmission.

Mayor Park Junhee stated, “We are mobilizing all district resources to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community and to bring it to a swift end,” adding, “Based on a close cooperative system with Seoul National University, we will spare no administrative or financial support in managing Chinese international students.”
