Gangnam-gu Holds 'Overcoming COVID-19! 2020 Night of Gratitude' Event

12 Sponsors with Warm Hearts Invited to 30 Organizations at Screening Clinics... Appreciation Certificates Presented and Healing Performances

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) held the "Overcoming COVID-19! 2020 Night of Gratitude" event on the rooftop garden of Gangnam-gu Public Health Center on the 13th, awarding certificates of appreciation to 12 residents and 30 organizations who supported the medical staff at the screening clinics exhausted from COVID-19 prevention efforts.

The district selected the certificate recipients by receiving recommendations of supporters who delivered handwritten letters, lunch boxes, snacks, and other donated items.

Among those who received certificates of appreciation were Ahn Young-soon (Nonhyeon 1-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee), who donated snacks, and organizations such as View Plastic Surgery Clinic, Airium Eye Clinic, and Gangnam Central Baptist Church, which donated funds and snacks, were named as group award recipients.

Hyundai High School, which delivered a life-size standee it made last month to the health center, also received a group award. The school's third-year students had launched the "Thanks to Medical Staff, COVID OUT" campaign during last summer vacation to support the medical staff.

Meanwhile, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the event minimized the number of attendees, followed by a ceremony for the delivery of "Love Supplies" from Dongkook Pharmaceutical, a certificate recipient, and a congratulatory performance by the Gangnam Symphony Orchestra.

District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun said, "I am grateful to the residents who sent warm support and encouragement to overcome COVID-19," adding, "We will continue to make every effort to systematically manage infectious diseases so that Gangnam can become a city without blind spots in quarantine."
