Gwangju Office of Education Installs Transparent Barriers in Civil Service Office for COVID-19 Prevention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] A 'infection defense shield' against Wuhan has been installed in the civil service office of the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education (Superintendent Jang Hwikuk) to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

On the 16th, the Gwangju Office of Education announced that a transparent partition was installed in the civil service office to prevent 'cross-infection' between visitors and public officials.

Given the nature of the civil service office, which sees hundreds of visitors daily, this is a preemptive measure to prevent the re-spread of infectious diseases to citizens visiting afterward if a civil service worker becomes infected.

The Gwangju Office of Education is strengthening its crisis response system by implementing measures such as 'one-directional dining' among staff, disinfecting and temperature checks for all building entrants, building disinfection, and maintaining emergency duty in the situation room to prevent infection among employees.

Starting from the 17th, to ensure the continuation of infectious disease prevention management in schools at all levels and overall educational administration even in the event of a possible closure of the education office, 47 essential personnel from each department will be selected to work separately at the Education Training Institute.

Jung Dongjae, the administrative officer in charge of public administration at the education office, said, "In accordance with the 'Safety Management Charter' that guarantees the basic right to safety of the public, we conduct daily wet cleaning, self-disinfection, and require mask-wearing at work to protect the health of visitors to the civil service office," adding, "We will continue to do our best for safe public administration."

A visitor to the Gwangju Office of Education said, "The defense window installed in the civil service office was large, transparent, and clean, giving a sense of safety," and added, "It was impressive to see the education office actively responding to prevent the spread of COVID-19."

Meanwhile, Gwangju Office of Education public officials recently pooled their own funds to send 10.91 million won in crisis support funds to the Daegu Office of Education and students, their 'Moonlight Alliance' partner, and have also contributed to overcoming the national crisis by participating in group blood donations following news of blood shortages.
