Gwangjin-gu Provides 30,000 KRW Per Night to Families of Self-Quarantined Guests at Safe Accommodations

Support of 390,000 KRW for up to 13 Days to Prevent Family Transmission

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is supporting the use fees for safe accommodations to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure that those in self-quarantine and their families can safely self-isolate.

In response to the recent rapid increase in transmission among families, the district is providing support for safe accommodation fees for overseas entrants and families under domestic self-quarantine.

The participating safe accommodations are H AVENUE Konkuk Branch (156 Dongil-ro) and A314 (314 Achasan-ro), with support of 30,000 KRW per night, up to 390,000 KRW for a maximum of 13 nights. For basic livelihood security recipients and lower-income groups, the full amount is supported.

Residents who wish to use the service can apply at the district office or the safe accommodation by bringing their overseas entry flight ticket or self-quarantine notice, and a resident registration certificate. After using the safe accommodation, submitting a separate application form, accommodation confirmation, receipt, and resident registration certificate to the district office will allow them to receive the support funds.

Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “Looking at the recent infection routes of confirmed cases in the area, infections among family members are increasing, so we decided to support the use fees for safe accommodations to create a safer environment.” He added, “Supporting the safe accommodation fees will not only reduce the economic burden on families of those in self-quarantine but also help prevent secondary COVID-19 infections among family members, which is expected to contribute to preventing the spread of infection in the local community.”
