Seongbuk-gu, Business Survey Postponed Due to COVID-19

Distribution of Masks and Hand Sanitizers to Ensure Safety of Survey Agents and Prevent COVID-19 Spread... Survey Agent Group Training Replaced with Cyber Education

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) will conduct the postponed 2020 Business Survey starting from June 4th to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection.

This business survey targets businesses with at least one employee as of the end of December 2019, investigating 11 items including the number of employees and annual sales through direct visits by surveyors. Approximately 25,092 businesses in Seongbuk-gu are subject to this survey.

The district usually conducts the survey from late February to early March, but due to the COVID-19 crisis alert level being raised to 'serious,' the survey schedule was first postponed from March 2nd to 27th.

However, as the spread of COVID-19 continued in March, Statistics Korea and the district postponed the business survey schedule a second time, from June 4th to June 29th.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the district replaced group training for surveyors with cyber training and prepared masks and hand sanitizers for the surveyors.

Additionally, for group facilities (such as nursing homes, hospitals, schools) and multi-use facilities, telephone surveys will be conducted in parallel to minimize the risk of group infections.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro stated, “We will actively inform business owners about the schedule changes to avoid confusion with the original business survey schedule, and since the survey is expected to be difficult due to COVID-19, the active cooperation of residents is urgently needed for this business survey.”
