Songpa-gu, Academy and Tutorial Centers Certified as 'Songpa Saem Clean Zone'

Support for Disinfection of 993 Hagwon and Gyoseupso... Safety Certification for Facilities with Regular Self-Disinfection and Compliance with Prevention Guidelines

An entrance door of an academy located in Songpa-gu has been marked with the certification mark of the 'Songpa Teacher Clean Zone Disinfection Safety Facility'.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) announced on the 7th that it will certify academies and private institutes in the area that comply with COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as disinfection as ‘Songpa Saem Clean Zone Disinfection Safety Facilities.’

Recently, due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation and the postponement of school openings, the time that adolescents spend at educational facilities such as academies and private institutes has increased. Although some facilities have decided to close temporarily or suspend operations, strict compliance with prevention guidelines such as disinfection has become even more important when operation is unavoidable.

Accordingly, Songpa-gu plans to alleviate residents' concerns by verifying compliance with prevention guidelines at academies and private institutes and attaching the ‘Songpa Saem Clean Zone’ certification mark, which guarantees safety at the district level.

Previously, from February to March, Songpa-gu supported disinfection for 993 small-scale and small businesses selected by the Gangdong-Songpa Office of Education among a total of 1,959 academies and private institutes in the area.

This ‘Songpa Saem Clean Zone’ certification mark will be attached to facilities where additional self-disinfection is regularly conducted and safety is confirmed among the academies and private institutes that the district previously supported with disinfection.

The district plans to provide each facility with the ‘COVID-19 Infection Prevention Disinfection Guidelines’ to ensure thorough self-disinfection.

In addition, it will continuously monitor whether the following rules are well observed: ▲checking the temperature and respiratory symptoms of workers and visitors and whether masks are worn ▲provision of disinfection supplies such as hand sanitizers ▲maintaining at least 1 meter distance between users within the facility ▲disinfecting and ventilating the facility at least twice a day ▲keeping a list of visitors.

Mayor Park Seong-su of Songpa-gu said, “Through the ‘Songpa Saem Clean Zone’ certification, we aim to alleviate the concerns of adolescents, parents, and residents,” and added, “Until the COVID-19 situation ends, we will mobilize all our capabilities to prevent the spread of infection in the community and do our best to ensure the safety of residents.”
