[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseonghun) is urgently providing quarantine supplies such as masks and hand sanitizers to infection-vulnerable facilities including nursing hospitals and nursing homes, following recent cluster infection cases at nursing hospitals in Daegu.

On the 20th, the district distributed 1,200 health masks, 116 bottles of hand sanitizer (300ml), and 40 bottles of disinfectant spray (500ml) to four local nursing hospitals.

Earlier, on the 18th, the district held an emergency meeting with nursing hospital officials at the public health center regarding the cluster infection at the Daegu nursing hospital.

At the emergency meeting, the district requested strict restrictions on visitor access within nursing hospitals to prevent cluster infections and urged immediate reporting if any suspected cases arise through investigations of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause.

Additionally, the district urgently supplied 4,700 masks to 26 elderly living facilities such as nursing homes and senior centers, and distributed a total of 1,246 hand sanitizers?two per elevator?to 69 apartment complexes equipped with elevators.

Furthermore, the district plans to provide 5 masks each, totaling 4,100 masks, to 826 pregnant women who are at high risk of infection and are having difficulty securing masks.

The distribution period is from the 23rd to the 27th, and recipients can receive masks by presenting their ID at their local community service center.

Pregnant women who have difficulty visiting in person may have family members visit with the maternity handbook to receive masks on their behalf. For those unable to arrange this, community service center staff will deliver the masks directly.

Geumcheon-gu Mayor Yuseonghun stated, “Strict management of visitors by each institution is necessary to prevent the cluster spread of COVID-19,” and added, “The district will provide maximum support of necessary resources to prevent cluster infections, so we ask facilities to thoroughly manage visitors and users.”
