Gangbuk-gu Launches Comprehensive Chuseok Measures... Full Effort to Prevent COVID-19 Spread

Focused Implementation on Five Key Areas: Safety, Convenience, Traffic, Prices, and Sharing... Minimizing Resident Inconvenience

Notice on Price Labeling System in Traditional Markets

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Park Gyeom-su) has prepared a comprehensive Chuseok holiday plan to ensure the safety and comfort of its residents during the holiday period.

The district has identified five key focus areas for the comprehensive plan: ‘Safety,’ ‘Prices,’ ‘Traffic,’ ‘Sharing,’ and ‘Convenience,’ and has established detailed measures accordingly. The main goal is to eliminate administrative gaps and minimize inconveniences for residents.

Particularly, the plan emphasizes ‘disaster prevention’ and ‘price stabilization’ through pre-inspections. Safety management is being closely examined, focusing on disaster-vulnerable facilities and multi-use facilities. Various risk factors are being removed from facilities closely related to residents’ daily lives, such as aging fences and stone walls, steep slopes, and road facilities. Unfair trading practices and compliance with price labeling regulations for key price-managed items like agricultural and livestock products are also major inspection targets.

Regarding COVID-19 response, the district will continue to operate the existing Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters and quarantine teams on a regular basis to maintain a 24-hour emergency response system. During the holiday period, more precise quarantine activities will be conducted, focusing on high-risk facilities for cluster infections to prevent any blind spots.

Additionally, the district is actively preparing for issues with a high incidence of complaints during the holidays, such as ‘cleaning’ and ‘illegal parking.’ The cleaning task force and parking situation team will conduct special crackdowns on illegal dumping and illegal parking, respectively. A ‘helping hand’ for a warm holiday has also been prepared. Holiday relief supplies and consolation money will be delivered to vulnerable groups who might easily fall into welfare blind spots.

Screening clinics will operate as usual except on Chuseok day, when they will close at 1 PM.

Information on hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies open during the holiday period can be found on the Gangbuk-gu Public Health Center website.

Park Gyeom-su, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “We will thoroughly manage detailed plans for each key area and ensure the thorough implementation of the comprehensive Chuseok plan. We also ask residents to minimize movement as much as possible to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during this Chuseok.”
