Dobong-gu Internet Quarantine Team is receiving work procedure training on the 20th.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dong-jin Lee) will operate the ‘COVID-19 Dobong-gu Internet Quarantine Team’ starting from the 21st to protect the human rights of confirmed cases and prevent secondary damage to visited businesses due to internet posts related to COVID-19.

The ‘COVID-19 Dobong-gu Internet Quarantine Team’ was established to address concerns that information such as confirmed patients’ movement routes and locations continues to exist on the internet, such as blogs, even after the posting period ends and the information is deleted from the official website and SNS, causing privacy violations and secondary economic damage to the surrounding commercial areas of the stores.

The district publicly recruited dedicated internet quarantine team personnel and participants for the Hope Job Project from June 8 to 29 for this ‘Dobong-gu Internet Quarantine Team’ project.

Additionally, the 3rd Blog Reporters Group will also participate in the project.

The ‘Dobong-gu Internet Quarantine Team’ will be responsible for finding and deleting information about confirmed COVID-19 cases circulating on internet cafes, blogs, and various communities after the government’s disclosure period for confirmed patients’ movement routes has expired.

Specifically, the team will operate by monitoring on its own to find expired confirmed patient information and request deletion cooperation from the operators of the relevant SNS.

If the COVID-19 confirmed patient information is not voluntarily deleted afterward, a formal letter including the URL of the post will be sent to the Korea Internet & Security Agency to request cooperation for forced deletion.

Residents can report confirmed patient movement routes for deletion through the ‘COVID-19 Confirmed Patient Movement Route Deletion Application’ section on the Dobong-gu website by downloading the application form and submitting it via email (mgomond@dobong.go.kr) or by applying simply through the ‘Apply Now’ option.

Meanwhile, before the full-scale project begins, the district held a launch ceremony for the ‘Dobong-gu Internet Quarantine Team’ on July 20 and conducted training for the operating personnel on searching for confirmed patient movement route information on SNS and the internet quarantine team’s work procedures.
