Gwanak-gu Hires 1,700 Quarantine Personnel for Proactive COVID-19 Response

Strengthening Access Control Including Visitor Verification for High-Risk Multi-Use Buildings Along Nambusunhwan-ro... Deployment of Hope Job Personnel from 9 AM to 6 PM, Conducting Quarantine Rule Inspections and Promotional Activities

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gwanak-gu (District Mayor Park Jun-hee) is taking proactive measures against COVID-19 by controlling access through visitor verification at multi-use buildings.

Recently, sporadic confirmed cases have occurred in some buildings near subway stations with relatively low rent, where unregistered business activities such as door-to-door sales, classified as high-risk COVID-19 facilities, have been conducted.

Accordingly, starting from the 12th, the district will deploy Hope Job personnel to suspected door-to-door sales businesses around Nambusunhwan-ro, buildings with large gatherings, and high-risk offices. Through proactive measures in these buildings, the district aims to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The workers will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., promoting compliance with basic quarantine rules such as visitor log registration, temperature checks, and distribution of quarantine supplies, as well as controlling visitors. They will guide symptomatic individuals to promptly undergo COVID-19 testing.

Additionally, professional disinfection companies will disinfect the buildings twice daily (morning and afternoon). Posters prohibiting gatherings will be posted in areas with high foot traffic such as buildings along Nambusunhwan-ro, bus stops, and subway stations. The district also continues to promote a reward program for citizen reports of illegal door-to-door sales businesses.

Meanwhile, following the recruitment of 1,200 people for the first Hope Job project in June, the district recruited an additional 500 people for the second Hope Job project in September. Through a total of 1,700 participants, the district is fully committed to preventing the spread of infectious diseases by supporting disinfection and administrative tasks.

District Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “This focused management has been implemented to break the chain of sporadic cluster infections amid the prolonged COVID-19 situation. Going forward, the district will prioritize the safety of residents and mobilize all administrative resources to do its utmost to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.”
