[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Efforts to overcome the national crisis are also unfolding in local communities.

Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) announced on the 17th that resident volunteers are engaging in disinfection activities throughout the district to prevent COVID-19.

In Cheonyeon-dong, from the 11th to the 13th of this month, about 100 members from the Cheonyeon-dong Welfare Block Leader Council, Saemaul Association, Residents' Autonomy Committee, Mabom Council, and Yeongcheon Market Merchants Association conducted extensive disinfection work targeting multi-use facilities and welfare centers such as Yeongcheon Market, Seodaemun Senior Welfare Center, and the Salvation Army Seoul Welfare Center.

They also carried out thorough disinfection in the redevelopment area of Hyeonjeo-dong and plan to continue their activities until the situation stabilizes to ensure a safe and clean village free from COVID-19.

The Bukgajwa 2-dong Community Service Center conducted emergency disinfection activities last week, mainly targeting publicly rented housing where low-income residents live, to prevent COVID-19 damage and alleviate residents' anxiety, with the participation of community center staff.

They also disinfected multi-use facilities such as commercial areas, senior centers, bus stops, and children's parks.

Earlier, in Bukgajwa 1-dong, the Saemaul Leaders Association, Residents' Autonomy Committee, Autonomous Disaster Prevention Group, and Block Leader Council organized group rotations and have been conducting disinfection every day at 2 p.m. since the 27th of last month.

Local residents have expressed relief, feeling reassured by the disinfection efforts during these anxious times caused by COVID-19.

Each neighborhood chief stated that they will take the lead from the frontline administrative districts to overcome the national crisis as soon as possible, especially striving to ensure that low-income and vulnerable residential areas are not neglected in disinfection efforts.
