[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Due to the spread of COVID-19, residents' anxiety about outdoor activities is increasing.

Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) is making every effort to thoroughly disinfect outdoor multi-use facilities to alleviate residents' concerns.

First, a "Park and Green Space Disinfection Team" consisting of 32 employees from the Parks and Green Space Division was formed and has been operating since the 3rd of this month.

The disinfection team is focusing on disinfecting 56 outdoor multi-use facilities in the area, including neighborhood parks, children's parks, and the Jungnangcheon embankment walking trail. Major neighborhood parks that are relatively large and frequently used by residents (△Dapsimni △Baebongsan △Jangan △Jangpyeong △Jungnangcheon △Cheonjangsan △Hongneung) are disinfected three times a week, while smaller parks are disinfected twice a week.

The district also conducted disinfection of street vendors located along major roads frequently used by residents.

Employees from the Construction Management Division completed disinfection from last week to this week of 94 licensed street vendors and about 500 unlicensed street vendors, as well as sidewalk business facilities located on Gosan-ja-ro, Wangsanno, and Hongneung-ro. The total disinfected area reached approximately 18,000 square meters.

The district plans to continue disinfecting multi-use facilities until the spread of COVID-19 ends to ensure residents can use them without inconvenience.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “Due to COVID-19, residents' consumption and outdoor activities have been greatly reduced, so we are conducting focused disinfection of related facilities to alleviate this. We will make every effort to maintain thorough disinfection until COVID-19 is eradicated.”
