Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Expands Operation of 'Safety Report Reward System'

Preventing the Spread of COVID-19 in the Community

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Samho) announced on the 26th that it will expand the operation of the ‘Safety Report Reward System’ to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community.

Since 2018, Gwangsan-gu has been providing rewards to outstanding reporters who report safety threats in daily life.

As the COVID-19 situation shows signs of prolongation, the scope of reward payments will be expanded to include reports of violations of social distancing guidelines and orders prohibiting gatherings at high-risk facilities.

Through this, Gwangsan-gu aims to reduce blind spots and vulnerable areas in quarantine.

From next month, when the safety report menu is opened in the Safety Report app, reports of COVID-19 quarantine guideline violations can be submitted.

This menu will also provide simple guidance on how to report. Safety report rewards will be paid differentially to outstanding reporters on a quarterly basis.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “When COVID-19 safety reports are received, strict measures will be taken against violations, and life quarantine will be strengthened in the relevant areas to prevent community infection and alleviate citizens’ anxiety.”

Last year, the number of safety reports submitted through the Gwangsan-gu Safety Report app totaled 11,612, a 307% increase compared to 3,773 cases in 2018.
