Gangbuk-gu Conducts On-site Inspection of Electronic Entry Logs at Infection-Vulnerable Facilities

Full Effort for Early Adoption of Electronic Entry Logs by the 30th... On-site Guidance and Promotion, Compliance with Quarantine Rules Checked... Total 572 Locations Inspected Including 157 Entertainment Venues and Danranjumeon, 284 Singing Practice Rooms, 100 PC Rooms, and 22 Sports Facilities

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Park Gyeom-su) has rolled up its sleeves to ensure the early establishment of the electronic entry log system (KI-PASS), introduced to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The electronic entry log system is a system where users receive a QR code on their smartphones, scan it on equipment installed at establishments, and upon entry, a visit record is created with encrypted data.

After a guidance period until the 30th, it will be mandatory starting July 1. The entry information collected via the QR code is used to identify users only when epidemiological investigation is necessary, and the collected information is automatically destroyed after 4 weeks.

The district is making every effort to install the system and provide usage guidance during the guidance period for the rapid establishment and utilization of the electronic entry log. Inspection teams composed of two people visit sites to encourage the installation of the log, while also checking compliance with quarantine rules.

In particular, although most establishments such as entertainment venues have completed the introduction of the log, some facilities are lagging behind, so nighttime patrol inspections are being focused on these places.

The high-risk group infection facilities inspected by the district include a total of 572 locations such as entertainment venues, karaoke bars, sports facilities, singing practice rooms, and PC rooms. The district plans to complete 100% business registration of facilities required to join the electronic entry log app within this month.

Gangbuk District Mayor Park Gyeom-su said, “Cluster infections continue sporadically, especially in dense, close-contact, and enclosed facilities, so it is important to block and trace the chain early,” and added, “Please understand that the electronic entry log is a measure to prevent additional COVID-19 infections and actively cooperate and participate as managers and visitors of multi-use facilities.”
