Daegu City Implements Institution-Specific 'COVID-19' Responsible Quarantine System... Administrative Order for Churches to Hold Non-Face-to-Face Services

Mayor Kwon Young-jin Orders Emergency Duty for Next Two Weeks at Expanded Executive Meeting on the 21st

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] "The transmission power of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), which has recently been spreading mainly in the metropolitan area, is faster than during the outbreak in Daegu earlier this year. Unlike Daegu, which was centered around Shincheonji, there are a very large number of cluster groups that have become sources of infection."

On the morning of the 21st, Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin, at an expanded executive meeting held via video conference, ordered preemptive measures to prevent the spread of 'COVID-19' and instructed all district and county offices and affiliated organizations to operate under an emergency duty system with institutional responsibility for quarantine for the next two weeks.

Until September 3rd, for two weeks, Daegu city officials and all employees of affiliated institutions were instructed to refrain from visiting the metropolitan area, while intensive inspections were conducted to ensure compliance with quarantine rules at 13 high-risk facilities, including entertainment venues and PC rooms.

Mayor Kwon said, "The Daegu Council of Churches announced a statement that churches will voluntarily switch to non-face-to-face worship services for two weeks, and this recommendation was made to all churches. Daegu City will also implement administrative measures containing these recommendations," and ordered districts and counties to carry out inspections and guidance activities.

Regarding the Daegu Hope Support Fund, Mayor Kwon emphasized, "We recommend receiving it via credit or debit cards, and if it is unavoidable to receive it through Daegu Happiness Pay, please exercise wisdom to regulate the distribution so that people do not gather all at once, which could hinder quarantine efforts."
