[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is operating the ‘Gang Gamchan Disinfection Team’ for two months from the 12th of last month to December 12th to respond to COVID-19.

About 420 workers from the 2nd phase of the Hope Job Program, deployed since the 12th, have been organized into the ‘Gang Gamchan Disinfection Team’ to create jobs amid difficult economic conditions and to proactively conduct disinfection to respond to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The district has deployed about 20 members of the Gang Gamchan Disinfection Team in each neighborhood to conduct proactive disinfection at multi-use facilities such as ▲bus stops ▲subway stations ▲traditional markets ▲children’s parks ▲sports facilities.

Additionally, the service is shifting from equipment rental-based disinfection to on-site disinfection visits, operating a visiting disinfection system that responds to disinfection requests at major facilities such as churches.

In particular, starting from the 19th, teams will be organized for 113 local senior centers reopening operations, conducting indoor and outdoor disinfection activities twice a week along with ventilation and environmental management within the centers.

Furthermore, the district will focus on inspecting disinfection rule compliance at vulnerable facilities such as door-to-door sales companies within multi-use buildings and will intensively check for violations of gathering bans in densely populated offices.

Meanwhile, since the 12th, the district has deployed Hope Job personnel at entrances of high-risk multi-use buildings around Nambusunhwan-ro, conducting thorough inspections including promoting basic disinfection rules, disinfecting, and controlling visitors.

Also, proactive mass testing is being conducted targeting 1,997 workers at 222 daycare centers in the area, and in cooperation with Seoul City on the 15th and 16th, a mobile proactive testing site has been installed and operated at Miju Harvardtel (1794 Nambusunhwan-ro), where many door-to-door sales companies are concentrated, actively responding to the spread of COVID-19.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “Through the operation of the Gang Gamchan Disinfection Team, we will provide jobs to residents struggling due to COVID-19, revive the local economy, and above all, do our best to create a safe Gwanak-gu by breaking the chain of COVID-19 spread through proactive disinfection activities.”
