As part of social distancing, the expanded executive meeting on the 26th at 4 PM will be held with a minimum number of participants... the rest will join via video conference

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yu Deok-yeol) scaled down the expanded executive meeting held at 4 p.m. on the 26th as part of social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection.

While the meeting originally involved executives of grade 5 or higher, including the mayor, deputy mayor, bureau and division heads, and district heads, this time the meeting was minimized to include only deputy mayors, bureau heads of grade 4 or higher, and some division heads.

Additionally, attendees' seats were arranged with a 2-meter distance between them. Other employees participated in the meeting via video.

The district is actively promoting the social distancing "Pause" project targeting residents, the local community, and the public sector to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

In addition to external publicity, telecommuting is implemented internally for pregnant employees, childcare workers, and high-risk staff, and flexible working hours are operated to reduce congestion on public transportation.

Furthermore, unnecessary meetings and business trips are being refrained from, and meetings are conducted via video conferencing whenever possible. The district cafeteria restricts access to outsiders, and employee meal times are divided into three separate sessions.

Yu Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, "We are mobilizing all administrative resources to carry out quarantine and publicity activities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community, and we continue to suspend the operation of multi-use facilities to prevent interpersonal contact. We ask all residents to actively participate in the social distancing Pause campaign for the time being."
