Gangnam-gu Conducts Special Inspection on Quarantine Status of 3,349 Academies and Private Institutes

Inspection of mask-wearing and hand sanitizer placement at all businesses... 20 two-person teams operating daily

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will conduct a special quarantine inspection targeting all 3,349 academies and private institutes until the 14th, during the government's strengthened quarantine measures period for the Seoul metropolitan area.

This special inspection is a preemptive quarantine measure following the full-scale resumption of in-person classes and recent confirmed COVID-19 cases at academies. Twenty two-person inspection teams composed of district office employees will operate daily.

The district recommended refraining from operating academies, but if operation is unavoidable, it mandated strict compliance with quarantine rules such as wearing masks, providing hand sanitizers, and maintaining social distancing. Additionally, 100,000 dental masks will be distributed to encourage voluntary participation in daily quarantine practices.

In particular, the district plans to take administrative actions according to relevant laws against academies and private institutes that violate quarantine rules if they fail to correct violations after on-site guidance.

For the health and safety of academy workers and students, the district has been leading focused quarantine efforts in the Daechi-dong academy district, including distributing 60,000 dental masks in April and providing hand sanitizers.
