[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) began disinfection activities on the 13th in Daechi-dong, where academies are densely located, along with the 'Self-Disaster Prevention Group' consisting of about 300 residents, to prevent the local spread of COVID-19.


Established in 2008, the Self-Disaster Prevention Group recently decided to directly disinfect the entire Gangnam-gu area and will continue disinfection activities focused on vulnerable areas such as public restrooms, commercial buildings, and entrances of apartment complexes in 22 neighborhoods including Nonhyeon 2-dong until the COVID-19 situation ends.


In particular, about 40 members of the Self-Disaster Prevention Group visited 800 academies in Daechi-dong on the 14th in pairs and wiped elevator buttons, stair railings, doors, and handles?areas frequently touched by students?with cloths soaked in antibacterial disinfectant.



Jung Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, “The entire nation is going through a difficult time due to COVID-19, and I thank the members of the Disaster Prevention Group who participated in disinfection activities for the students and residents. Gangnam-gu is making every effort to protect the health and safety of residents through thorough disinfection and proactive testing, so residents are advised not to be overly anxious, to follow personal hygiene guidelines well, and to carry on with their daily lives with peace of mind.”
