Dongjak-gu Opens Public Outdoor Sports Facilities... Designates Quarantine Officer

From the 6th, 21 outdoor sports facilities including Nodeulnaru Park, tennis courts, and badminton courts will be prioritized for opening... Compliance with usage rules through designation of quarantine officers by groups... Strengthened promotion of daily quarantine rules for residents

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) will reopen some public outdoor sports facilities that had been closed since February 8th, following the transition to the "social distancing in daily life" phase of the COVID-19 prevention system starting from the 6th.

In line with the "New Normal," which involves maintaining thorough infection prevention activities while carrying out daily life and social and economic activities, the district has completed a review of reopening outdoor sports facilities with relatively less physical contact and established usage guidelines.

The facilities to be reopened include 21 outdoor sports facilities such as those within Nodeulnaru Park and tennis courts and badminton courts in Noryangjin Neighborhood Park and other parks.

Closed-type badminton courts, totaling nine locations, are excluded from the reopening.

The sports facility quarantine guidelines include ▲designation of a quarantine officer for each group ▲checking users for fever and respiratory symptoms ▲recording the list of facility entrants ▲prohibiting accompanying persons other than facility users ▲wearing masks ▲using personal items such as exercise equipment and towels ▲and banning food consumption within the facilities.

The district plans to conduct unannounced on-site inspections to ensure compliance with the usage guidelines and will immediately suspend facility use if violations occur. If a confirmed COVID-19 case arises within a facility, all facilities within the park will be closed, and future use of the facilities by the relevant group will be prohibited.

Additionally, to ensure safe facility use, outdoor sports facilities will be disinfected once daily, and pre-education on usage guidelines will be provided to the quarantine officers of each group.

The operation of indoor sports facilities and other multi-use facilities will be reviewed sequentially, considering the safety of residents from various perspectives.

The district is promoting five basic social distancing rules to residents through the district website and SNS: ▲stay home for 3-4 days if sick ▲maintain a healthy distance of two arm lengths ▲wash hands and cough into sleeves ▲ventilate at least twice daily and disinfect regularly ▲keep hearts close even if distances grow.

Furthermore, stickers with daily quarantine guidelines have been produced and posted in multi-use facilities such as 492 pieces of exercise equipment, 44 playgrounds, and restrooms within parks, so that users can easily see them.

Jongrok Jeong, Director of the Sports and Culture Division, said, "Although community transmission of COVID-19 is on the decline, it is too early to be complacent. We ask that when using sports facilities, residents practice social distancing in daily life and strictly follow the usage guidelines established by the district."
