[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) held a 'COVID-19 Countermeasure Meeting' at 10 a.m. on the 23rd in the mayor's office, attended by the deputy mayor, directors, and heads of relevant departments.

As the district shifted from social distancing to everyday distancing, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases sharply increased from 24 to 80, prompting an urgent countermeasure meeting.

Mayor Noh Hyun-song emphasized, "The recent rapid increase was due to the Bucheon Coupang logistics center, Incheon Gaechok Church, Yangcheon-gu table tennis club, and Richway-related cases," but added that "since cluster infections can occur at any time in our district as well, preparations are necessary."

He also instructed to urgently gather information on local door-to-door sales businesses and businesses selling products to the elderly (such as health supplements), and to thoroughly manage and supervise by promoting adherence to COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

Furthermore, he stated, "The reason no cluster infections have occurred is because each resident has strictly managed themselves by wearing masks and using hand sanitizer," and urged, "As signs of a second wave appear, please pay even more attention to personal hygiene management."
