The ceremony was held on the 25th at the Citizen Hall, and eight departments received the ‘Best Dream Team Commendation for the First Half of 2020.’

These departments were recognized for their diligent work in blocking and preventing the spread of COVID-19, including operating screening clinics, managing self-quarantined individuals, disinfecting confirmed patients’ movement paths, and inspecting infection-risk facilities such as religious, sports, and entertainment establishments within the jurisdiction.

Additionally, as the unprecedented severe economic recession continued due to COVID-19, 89 public officials from all 55 townships and neighborhoods who were responsible for handling applications and registrations for various support projects, including the emergency disaster relief fund, were selected as ‘Public Officials Commended for Overcoming the COVID-19 Crisis’ and awarded commendations to encourage their efforts.

Heo Seong-moo, Mayor of Changwon City, said, “Thanks to our employees, Changwon citizens have been able to maintain their daily lives despite the risks of COVID-19,” and added, “I ask everyone to feel even more responsible and work together so that we can quickly overcome the COVID-19 situation and the economic crisis.”
