Eunpyeong-gu Apartment Elevator Button Antibacterial Film Attachment

Multi-family Housing, Complex Buildings, Multi-unit, Multi-family, and Row Houses Targeted... Standard Specifications and Quantity Requests Accepted and Distributed by Building Management Departments

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) plans to distribute antibacterial films starting from the 27th, which will be attached to elevator buttons and main entrance keypad locks in apartment complexes, mixed-use buildings, and multi-family, multi-unit, and row houses to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

As many cases of indirect transmission through objects have been reported, comparable to direct transmission via droplets, hygiene management of elevator buttons and main entrance keypad locks, which residents frequently touch directly, has become even more important.

Accordingly, Eunpyeong-gu plans to distribute antibacterial films containing copper to apartment complexes and other residential buildings to block virus transmission. According to research by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), copper surfaces have a virus survival time of 4 hours, which is more effective in blocking virus transmission compared to stainless steel (48 hours) or plastic (72 hours).

Eunpyeong-gu will identify the required quantity and specifications of antibacterial films by the departments responsible for building management and proceed with distribution. The films will also be distributed to public facilities managed by Eunpyeong-gu, such as comprehensive social welfare centers.

Through this distribution, Eunpyeong-gu stated that it will do its best to block the spread of COVID-19 and alleviate residents' anxiety.
