COVID-19 Emergency Quarantine Measures Meeting

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 19th, as strengthened social distancing measures were implemented in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon areas, Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) has launched intensive quarantine measures to block the spread of COVID-19 in the local community.

Earlier, on the morning of the 16th, when social distancing level 2 was implemented in Seoul and Gyeonggi areas, Mayor Yu Seong-hoon held an 'Emergency COVID-19 Quarantine Measures Meeting' and instructed related departments to strengthen quarantine measures for public and private facilities and enhance public awareness campaigns.

Accordingly, starting from the 19th, the district has issued administrative orders banning gatherings at 'high-risk facilities' with a high risk of COVID-19 spread, such as religious facilities, entertainment bars, PC rooms, performance halls, indoor sports facilities, academies, and door-to-door sales businesses, and will conduct intensive inspections.

Along with this, quarantine activities will be strengthened at densely populated resident facilities such as apartment complexes, traditional markets, and parks, and through high-intensity social distancing promotions using both online and offline methods, active participation from residents will be encouraged.

Furthermore, the district plans to strictly manage quarantine by restricting operations of public facilities such as welfare facilities, cultural and sports facilities, and resident support facilities, aiming to completely block the local spread of COVID-19.

Geumcheon-gu Mayor Yu Seong-hoon said, “To prevent the second large wave of COVID-19, maintaining strong social distancing and active participation from residents is urgently needed,” and added, “We ask all residents to actively cooperate with the district’s quarantine measures despite any inconvenience to overcome the COVID-19 crisis.”
