Guro-gu Establishes Quarantine System in Preparation for Resuming Social Welfare Facility Operations

Installation of Thermal Cameras at 7 Welfare Centers... Member Management System Introduced to Track Visitor Information... Disinfection Devices and Supplies Provided to 320 Locations Including Senior Centers... Funded by COVID-19 Relief Donations

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) has established a quarantine system in preparation for the resumption of operations at social welfare facilities in the area.

On the 14th, Guro-gu announced that it had prepared a quarantine system to prevent the spread of infection ahead of the reopening of social welfare facilities that have been closed due to COVID-19.

First, Guro-gu installed thermal imaging cameras at welfare centers within the district.

The installation locations include ▲Guro Comprehensive Social Welfare Center ▲Hwawon Comprehensive Social Welfare Center ▲Gung-dong Comprehensive Social Welfare Center ▲St. Francis Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled ▲Eden Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled ▲Onsu Senior Welfare Center ▲Guro Senior Comprehensive Welfare Center, totaling seven sites. The cameras are installed at the first-floor entrances of the welfare centers to conduct temperature checks on all users.

Except for the already operating Guro Senior Comprehensive Welfare Center, six welfare centers have also introduced a membership management system. This system allows accurate verification of visitors' names, entry times, and contact information, enabling prompt response in case of infection.

Guro-gu also provided disinfection devices and disinfectants to 320 locations, including senior citizen centers, local children's centers, facilities for the disabled, all-day care centers, and child and youth welfare facilities.

This quarantine system was established using donations made to the Community Chest of Korea by companies, organizations, religious institutions, and individuals to overcome COVID-19.

Previously, Guro-gu supported low-income families, seniors, and social welfare facilities with masks, non-contact thermometers, rice, and disinfection services using sponsorship funds.

On the 11th, Guro-gu resumed partial operations of small-scale programs at Guro, Hwawon, and Gung-dong Comprehensive Social Welfare Centers, as well as St. Francis and Eden Comprehensive Welfare Centers for the Disabled.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We are closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and reviewing the phased reopening of facilities. We will do our best to maintain a thorough quarantine system to prevent the spread of infection.”
