Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju's 'Safe Restaurant Campaign' Promoted as an Excellent Case by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The "Safe Restaurant" initiative by Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Samho), aimed at improving dining environments vulnerable to infectious diseases, has been selected as an exemplary case by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

According to Gwangsan-gu on the 24th, the Safe Restaurant program, which has been spreading nationwide under the directive of the Prime Minister by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs since last month, originated from the "Gwangsan Safe Restaurant Pledge Movement" started by Gwangsan-gu in March.

From this month, other districts in Gwangju Metropolitan City, excluding Gwangsan-gu, have also been implementing the Safe Restaurant system.

The Gwangsan Safe Restaurant Pledge Movement is a campaign where participants commit to practicing five actions: ▲ serving food less from shared dishes ▲ hygienic management of spoons and chopsticks ▲ all staff wearing masks ▲ constant availability of hand sanitizer ▲ daily disinfection of business premises. Currently, 145 establishments have been designated.

The district plans to expand the number of pledged establishments to more than 230 in the future.

Businesses wishing to participate in the Gwangsan Safe Restaurant program can refer to the Gwangsan-gu website or contact the Food Hygiene Division.
