Joint Civil-Government Campaign by Local Autonomous Disaster Prevention Corps, Crime Prevention Unit, and Disaster Rescue Association... Campaign Launched on 'Bulgeum' at Konkuk University Food Street Amid Crowding Concerns

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) conducted a 'Public-Private Joint Campaign for Social Distancing in Daily Life' on the evening of the 22nd at 9 PM around the Konkuk University Taste Street area.

This campaign was organized as part of the activities of the 'Special Task Force for Entertainment Facilities' established on May 11. It aims to encourage the practice of 'social distancing in daily life' when using multi-use facilities, in response to the continuous occurrence of COVID-19 confirmed cases nationwide at entertainment venues such as clubs in Itaewon, karaoke rooms, and pubs.

The campaign took place on a Friday evening, a time with high pedestrian traffic and concerns about crowding. Participants included the local autonomous disaster prevention group, autonomous crime prevention squad, disaster rescue association, Taste Street merchants' association, and officials from Gwangjin-gu Office, conducting the campaign jointly between public and private sectors.

The campaign team walked around the Taste Street area holding placards requesting the practice of basic quarantine guidelines such as wearing masks and washing hands, as well as 'social distancing in daily life,' conducting a non-contact campaign.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "Including secondary infections originating from Itaewon, COVID-19 confirmed cases continue to occur nationwide at entertainment facilities such as karaoke rooms and pubs, so we have quickly organized and are operating the 'Special Task Force for Entertainment Facilities.' We aim to lead the practice of 'social distancing in daily life' through this campaign at Konkuk University Taste Street, where crowding is a concern ahead of the weekend."
