[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 9th that it has launched an urgent intensive inspection targeting door-to-door sales companies in the region since the 5th.

This measure aims to block additional community infections of COVID-19, which have been sporadically and continuously occurring mainly in the Seoul metropolitan area including Seongnam, following a confirmed case at the Seoul door-to-door sales company 'Richway' on the 4th.

The target of this urgent intensive inspection is a total of 253 door-to-door sales companies registered in Seongnam City under the Door-to-Door Sales Act.

Regarding these facilities, the city conducted a full survey by phone on the 5th and has been conducting on-site guidance inspections since the 8th, prioritizing companies where group education, collective promotion, and sales take place. In addition, the city plans to inspect unreported door-to-door sales companies (unregistered illegal door-to-door sales companies and door-to-door sales companies registered outside the jurisdiction).

During the on-site guidance inspection, the city plans to focus on compliance with the Door-to-Door Sales Act and the basic quarantine rules for social distancing, including ▲whether business sites comply with quarantine guidelines ▲recommendation to refrain from operating promotional centers with frequent large gatherings and high risk of infection ▲checking compliance with COVID-19 infection prevention rules at business sites.
