Eunpyeong-gu Installs 'Safe Partition' at Civil Service Counters to Block COVID-19

Active Response to Prevent Infectious Diseases Including COVID-19... Ensuring Safety of Residents and Staff with Installation of Protective Barriers at Civil Service Counters

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) installed 170 transparent partitions at the district office, community service centers, and public health center service counters on the 20th to prevent various infectious diseases including COVID-19.

Service counters are multi-use facilities where face-to-face work is conducted at close proximity with visitors, making them high-risk areas for virus transmission through droplets.

Accordingly, as part of the 'social distancing' measures, Eunpyeong-gu installed transparent acrylic partitions at the service counters to prevent infections caused by direct contact, ensuring the safety of residents and staff.

Additionally, amid ongoing small-scale COVID-19 cluster infections in call centers and medical institutions, various measures are being implemented to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in the region, including temperature checks upon entering the building, 'sitting in a single line' in the cafeteria, and frequent disinfection activities in the service offices.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, "The installation of transparent partitions is a measure to alleviate residents' anxiety about various infectious diseases including COVID-19 when visiting the service office and to allow them to conduct their business with peace of mind," adding, "We will continue to focus on creating a service office environment where residents can visit safely."
