[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] A special COVID-19 inspection of about 3,500 workers at 36 construction sites in Gyeonggi Province found no confirmed cases.

Gyeonggi Urban Corporation announced on the 13th that after conducting a special COVID-19 inspection of 3,555 construction workers at 36 construction sites in the province, construction is proceeding normally without any confirmed cases.

Since February 24, when COVID-19 was elevated to a serious stage, Gyeonggi Urban Corporation has formed an emergency response team and is implementing real-time measures including ▲workers wearing masks ▲unified entry points ▲thermal camera fever checks at all construction sites ▲disinfection and quarantine on site ▲minimizing contact between workers by reducing TBM (Tool Box Meeting) procedures.

In addition, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among foreign workers who are in blind spots of management, prevention regulation posters and banners are posted in multiple languages, and a special inspection team conducts preventive education and compliance checks at each site.

Lee Heon-wook, president of Gyeonggi Urban Corporation, stated, "As seen in recent cases of local infection spread through Itaewon entertainment facilities, infections can spread at any time within the sites," adding, "We will continuously respond and manage to ensure that construction workers do not become complacent and site management does not become negligent."
