Yongseon Lee, Yangcheon-eul National Assembly Candidate, Kim Heegul and Woo Hyungchan, City Council Members, and Over 20 Volunteers Conduct Disinfection at Mokdong Station on Subway Line 5

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seoul Metropolitan Council members Kim Hee-geol (Democratic Party, Yangcheon 4) and Woo Hyung-chan (Democratic Party, Yangcheon 3) participated as volunteers in disinfecting Mokdong Station on Seoul Subway Line 5 on the 26th, along with Lee Yong-seon, the Democratic Party candidate for Yangcheon-eul constituency, Shin Sang-gyun, chairman of Yangcheon District Council, and about 20 others to prevent the spread of COVID-19. They inspected the current status of station disinfection, citizen protection measures, and staff protection measures.

Mokdong Station on Line 5 is a representative public transportation facility in Yangcheon-gu with a large floating population, as it is located near large apartment complexes and residential areas, Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, Hongik Hospital, Seoul Southern District Court, and the Prosecutor's Office.

On that day, the volunteer disinfection at Mokdong Station of Seoul Metro Line 5 began at 4 p.m. after receiving explanations about the locations and methods of disinfection cleaning in the concourse, putting on disinfectant vests and gloves, and using disinfectant wipes and sprayers to disinfect the entire Mokdong station.

Additionally, they checked various measures and manuals responding to COVID-19, including public promotion of infection prevention behavioral rules, distribution status of hand sanitizers and masks to citizens, current status of station disinfection, and protection of station staff.

Lee Yong-seon, the Democratic Party candidate for Yangcheon-eul constituency, emphasized, “Whenever there has been a national disaster and hardship, the voluntary participation of our citizens and the dedicated performance of duties by public institution employees have been the greatest driving force to overcome the crisis,” adding, “We will ultimately overcome this COVID-19 pandemic through the efforts and resilience of all of us.”

He especially urged the participating volunteers to encourage and understand each other and endure together, saying that although we are walking an uncharted path due to the sudden disaster situation, as always, we will overcome this crisis and find a new path.

Council member Kim Hee-geol said, “As the COVID-19 pandemic is spreading mainly in Seoul and the metropolitan area under a national disaster situation, the Seoul Metropolitan Council and Seoul City will not only do their best in disinfection but also establish a system to be safe from recurring infectious diseases.”

Council member Woo Hyung-chan stated, “Although disinfection of Seoul’s public transportation such as subways and buses is at a very high level, the Seoul Metropolitan Council, Seoul City, and each transportation agency will work together and make every effort to continuously inspect and maintain stability to block even a 1% risk of COVID-19 occurrence.”
