[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dobong-gu (Mayor Lee Dong-jin) is implementing an emergency transportation plan for residents returning from the United States and Europe to proactively prevent the spread of COVID-19 infections originating from overseas.

Starting March 30, all residents arriving from Europe and the United States through Incheon International Airport must use the special airport bus for overseas arrivals, which is fully equipped for quarantine.

This measure is to ensure that overseas arrivals can safely enter the self-quarantine system after specimen collection at screening clinics without contact with unspecified general citizens.

The airport bus for overseas arrivals will operate at least three times a day, and the fare will be the same as the regular airport bus.

The drop-off location is the Dobong Residents' Hall, which is closest to the public health center. Upon arrival at the temporary waiting station at Dobong Residents' Hall from Incheon Airport, overseas arrivals will immediately move to the public health center's screening clinic for specimen testing. After specimen collection, they will be transported home in a government-supported vehicle to minimize contact with others during transit.

To this end, the district has assigned three government vehicles and dedicated staff to manage overseas arrivals. They will collect personal information of overseas arrivals and provide guidance on 14-day self-quarantine and preventive measures.

Additionally, starting April 1, in accordance with the government policy requiring all arrivals from all countries worldwide to self-quarantine for two weeks, these arrivals will be required to install a self-quarantine app, and follow-up management will be conducted to ensure strict compliance with self-quarantine.

At the same time, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 caused by crowds of spring visitors, the district has posted banners announcing the cancellation of cherry blossom events at local cherry blossom spots, Uicheon and Jungnangcheon, actively encouraging residents to practice 'social distancing.'

Furthermore, the district has installed 197 transparent acrylic partitions at 14 community service centers with frequent close contact with visitors, six district office civil service desks, the building information desk, and the residents' hall to minimize the possibility of infection from close contact, allowing residents to safely receive administrative services.

Mayor Lee Dong-jin of Dobong-gu stated, “Self-quarantine is an essential measure to block the local spread of infectious diseases,” and urged, “Residents currently under self-quarantine must strictly follow the self-quarantine guidelines for the health of their families and neighbors.”
