[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 16th that it will extend the ban on gatherings for unregistered and unreported door-to-door sales for one month until September 15th to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) through daily quarantine measures.

Previously, Daegu City had issued an administrative order banning gatherings related to special sales such as door-to-door sales for one month starting from July 14th. However, due to the recent resurgence of COVID-19 community infections centered in the metropolitan area, the city announced on the 15th the extension of the ban period through an administrative order.

Special sales activities such as door-to-door sales are often conducted secretly and privately, making early response and epidemiological investigations very difficult when infections occur. Citizens who discover such activities can also report them through the 'Safe Report App.'

Kim Young-ae, Director of the Citizen Safety Office of Daegu City, stated, "Although the local infection situation in Daegu continues to calm down, it is not a situation to be complacent about," and added, "We will do our best in quarantine efforts to prevent local infections caused by new infection sources such as unregistered and unreported door-to-door sales companies."
