Gwangju City Conducts Mass Disinfection of Public Restrooms to Prevent COVID-19 Spread

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 13th that it has been conducting a thorough disinfection of 901 public and open restrooms in the area since the 10th.

The city signed a contract with a professional disinfection company to carry out mass disinfection using ultrafine particle sprayers, and distributed disinfectants to the managers of public and open restrooms so that frequently touched surfaces such as doors and handles can be disinfected regularly.

In addition, the city plans to strengthen hygiene management of public restrooms by frequently emptying trash bins, regularly cleaning and maintaining major facilities, providing convenience items such as soap, hand sanitizers, and toilet paper, and ensuring ventilation.

Jung Ju-hyung, head of the city's Water Circulation Policy Division, said, "Given the nature of viruses that can be transmitted through solid or liquid particles suspended in the air in enclosed spaces, hygiene in public restrooms is especially important," and added, "We will thoroughly disinfect and manage the hygiene of public restrooms so that citizens can use them with peace of mind."
