Gwanak-gu, All-Out Effort to Prevent COVID-19 Spread in Apartment Complexes

Hand Sanitizers Provided and Antibacterial Films Applied on Elevators and Entrances in Apartment Complexes... Preventing COVID-19 Community Spread through Thorough Prevention and Management in Apartment Complexes

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) announced that it has distributed hand sanitizers and attached antibacterial films to elevators in apartment complexes within the district to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community.

Recently, as small-scale group infection cases have increased in Seoul and the metropolitan area, secondary and tertiary infections have occurred, heightening residents' anxiety.

In response, the district distributed 2,154 hand sanitizers to 117 apartment complexes, where many people live and are vulnerable to infectious disease spread, placing them inside elevators to prevent community transmission of COVID-19.

Hand sanitizers were distributed proportionally to the number of elevators in complexes that had not secured hand sanitizers for elevators first, and for complexes without elevators, they were distributed proportionally to the number of entrances to be placed at the entrances.

Additionally, the district plans to support and attach antibacterial films to the elevators in apartment complexes along with the hand sanitizers.

The distributed antibacterial films are roll-type, allowing easy cutting and simple attachment to elevator buttons, and are made of copper material, which is expected to be effective in preventing infectious diseases such as cross-infection.

The district will distribute antibacterial films to a total of 110 complexes and 1,152 elevators, complete the attachment by the end of this month, and strive to prevent infectious diseases and alleviate residents' anxiety.

Mayor Park Junhee stated, “Thorough prevention in apartment complexes is the first step to preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the community,” and added, “The district will mobilize all its capabilities to swiftly end COVID-19.”
