Seongnam City Inspects 'Everyday Social Distancing' at 379 Public Restrooms

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is set to inspect whether the 'social distancing in daily life' guidelines are being followed at 379 public restrooms in the area to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The inspection targets include 124 park restrooms, 24 restrooms along the Tancheon Stream, 18 restrooms in large-scale stores, 73 gas station restrooms, 61 privately opened restrooms, and 79 others.

To this end, Seongnam City will deploy inspection teams of 30 people from 12 departments to visit public restrooms in sequence to check the availability of hand sanitizers and hand soaps, as well as the implementation of disinfection measures.

The city also plans to support disinfection of each restroom at least once a week through public workers dedicated to disinfection. Additionally, users will be guided on usage rules such as wearing masks, maintaining a distance of at least 2 meters while queuing, closing the toilet lid before flushing, and washing hands thoroughly for more than 30 seconds.

On-site verification and public awareness activities will continue until the government ends the period for practicing the 'social distancing in daily life' guidelines.

A city official emphasized, "Social distancing in daily life is a long-term quarantine system that ensures citizens' daily lives and economic activities while simultaneously preventing and blocking infections in preparation for the prolonged spread of COVID-19," adding, "We will do our best in on-site guidance activities to prevent infections from occurring in public places."
