Jamsilbon-dong Community Center in Songpa-gu Installs Ultra-Fast Smartphone Sterilizer

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is operating a high-speed smartphone sterilizer at the Jamsilbon-dong Community Service Center, the first among Seoul's autonomous districts, to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The high-speed smartphone sterilizer, which won an award at the Korea Invention Patent Exhibition, was reported in March by the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology to be able to sterilize 99.9% of viruses and various bacteria within 8 seconds using ultraviolet beams.

It is also said to have the advantage of not damaging smartphones or affecting their performance, allowing everyone to use it with confidence.

The Jamsilbon-dong Community Service Center is a representative community center of Songpa-gu, visited by about 53,000 people last year, with an average of 4,000 visitors per month using civil affairs and welfare services.

A resident who used the high-speed smartphone sterilizer said, "These days, when thorough personal hygiene is required due to COVID-19, it is convenient to have a smartphone sterilizer installed at the community center," and added, "I hope many public facilities used by many people will be equipped with it."

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, "Nowadays, with frequent smartphone use and heightened awareness of personal hygiene due to COVID-19, we installed the high-speed smartphone sterilizer to ensure the safety of local residents' lives," and added, "Songpa-gu will continue to make every effort to provide administrative services that take the lead in ensuring the safety of its citizens."
