Yeonggwang-gun Operates 'Weekly Wednesday Indoor Disinfection Day'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 24th that starting from the 25th, every Wednesday until the end of the COVID-19 situation, a county-wide indoor disinfection day will be operated for all residents.

The county-wide indoor disinfection day is implemented to protect clean Yeonggwang through thorough disinfection involving all residents, as the initial transmission rate of COVID-19 is very high and disinfection by government offices and social organizations alone has limitations in blocking infections.

All residents, including public institutions, businesses, social organizations, related agencies, and households within the county, are subject to participate.

The disinfection method involves wiping surfaces of frequently touched items such as telephones, door handles, vending machines, windows, and walls with a cloth (towel) soaked in disinfectant. For surfaces without holes, wipe for more than 10 minutes, and for soaking items, soak for 30 minutes, following the disinfection methods distributed by the county.

The recommended disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite (household bleach). The township offices dilute and distribute the disinfectant (bleach) once, and from the second time onward, individuals purchase household bleach and dilute it according to the method provided by the county before use.

A county official said, “Although daily disinfection is carried out mainly at government offices and related agencies, we ask all residents to actively cooperate in thoroughly disinfecting living spaces, which can easily be neglected, to protect clean Yeonggwang from COVID-19.”
