[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has recently launched the operation of a ‘Door-to-Door Sales Business Reporting Center’ to proactively respond to the risk of local infections through door-to-door sales companies, as Nth-generation infections have been spreading due to door-to-door sales companies operating in promotional centers, also known as Tteotdabang.

The ‘Door-to-Door Sales Business Reporting Center’ was established to crack down on door-to-door sales companies that have gathering workplaces but fail to comply with quarantine rules or operate illegally.

Reports to the Door-to-Door Sales Business Reporting Center can be made by phone, and it is set up in the Gwangjin-gu Office Regional Economy Division, operating from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays.

Additionally, reports outside the reporting center’s operating hours are accepted through the Gwangjin-gu Office Comprehensive Situation Room.

Upon receiving a report, the district will immediately dispatch personnel to the site to verify the situation, issue a gathering ban order, and take strong measures such as closing the business premises.

Prior to this, the district conducted a full survey of door-to-door sales companies over three days from the 9th to the 11th, carrying out on-site inspections regarding compliance with quarantine rules during business operations.

Furthermore, quarantine compliance orders were delivered to a total of 142 door-to-door sales companies in the area, and gathering ban orders were issued to five door-to-door sales companies that have gathering workplaces where people could become densely packed.

District Mayor Kim Seon-gap said, “We ask residents to cooperate by refraining from visiting facilities such as door-to-door sales companies where many people are in close contact in enclosed spaces.” He added, “Also, if you discover door-to-door sales companies that do not comply with quarantine rules or operate gathering workplaces illegally, please report them to the reporting center.”
