Guri-si to Introduce 'Electronic Entry Log' for COVID-19 Response on the 10th

[Asia Economy (Guri) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Guri City in Gyeonggi Province introduced the electronic entry log (K-PASS) system using QR codes on the 10th for entertainment bars and high-risk facilities to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community.

The electronic entry log system is based on QR codes utilizing information technology to improve the previously handwritten visitor logs, developed and distributed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

Guri City expanded the facilities subject to the electronic entry log system to a total of 4,457 places, including the 8 types of high-risk facilities designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare: ▲restaurants (hunting pocha, gamseong jujeom) ▲entertainment facilities (clubs, roomsalongs, danranjujeom, colatec) ▲leisure facilities (norae yeonseupjang) ▲sports facilities (indoor group exercise, Zumba, Tae Bo, spinning) ▲performance facilities (indoor standing concert halls), as well as other high-risk facilities and places where masks are not worn continuously and infection risk is high.

Mayor Ahn Seung-nam of Guri said, "As the electronic entry log system has been fully implemented to resolve issues such as false contact information and privacy concerns raised during the creation of visitor logs, as well as infection risks from writing instruments, active participation from the relevant businesses is more important than anything else." He added, "We will actively propose to the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters to expand the system beyond the 8 high-risk facility types designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to include facilities where masks cannot be worn continuously."
