[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has been selected as an outstanding autonomous district in the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's 'COVID-19 Quarantine Rule Violation 112 Report and Joint Response between Local Governments and Police' performance.

This signifies that during the social distancing level 2.5 period, Seongbuk-gu's quarantine measures were excellently implemented, and there was strong mutual cooperation among related organizations during critical moments.

From September to October, Seongbuk-gu actively worked to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect residents' safety by promptly reporting violations of quarantine rules to 112 and conducting joint responses.

To commemorate the selection as an outstanding autonomous district, a wall clock bearing the name of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner was presented. On the 27th, Chief Choi Seong-gyu of Seongbuk Police Station visited Seongbuk-gu Office in person to deliver the gift.

Mayor Lee Seung-ro of Seongbuk-gu stated, “We will continue to closely cooperate with all related organizations in the region, including the police station and military units, and do our best to ensure residents' safety by focusing on checking compliance with quarantine rules.”

Meanwhile, as of 6 p.m. on the 28th, Seongbuk-gu has 353 confirmed COVID-19 cases, of which 344 have been treated and discharged, and 9 are currently undergoing treatment. No additional confirmed cases have been reported compared to the previous day.

Seongbuk-gu was once a clean autonomous district with no local COVID-19 infection cases, but due to the outbreak originating from Sarang Jeil Church in Jangwi-dong in August, a large number of confirmed cases occurred. The number of daily self-quarantined individuals approached nearly 2,000, prompting active responses from district employees, local residents, and related organizations.

Records of Seongbuk-gu’s response journey, which was at the center of the COVID-19 resurgence, can also be found on the Seongbuk Village Archive website.
