[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Daegu City announced on the 25th that it will hold the '5th Creative City Global Forum' on the 26th from 1:30 PM at the City Hall Annex Auditorium, together with 'People Making Creative Cities Forum' (Representative Choi Cheol-young).

The event will be conducted with minimal on-site attendees to comply with COVID-19 social distancing and quarantine guidelines. The Global Forum is held every November to invite renowned domestic and international scholars and innovation experts in the creative city field to spread a culture of openness, diversity, and connectivity.

This year's forum theme was set as an open Daegu forum to start expert discussions on new changes and responses after COVID-19 and to recover a new normal while coexisting with COVID-19.

The forum consists of two parts. Part 1 is an expert session featuring lectures and discussions on the topics 'COVID-19 Global now' and 'Post-COVID-19,' and Part 2 is a special citizen session conducted as a talk concert for COVID-19 daily recovery.

In 'COVID-19 Global now,' Jeanelle de Gruchy, President of the UK Public Health Association, delivers the current status of COVID-19 in the UK via video and presents lessons to be learned from Daegu City's infectious disease management cases. Carol Soon, Senior Research Fellow at the Policy Research Institute of the National University of Singapore, also presents Singapore's COVID-19 status through video and explains the role of a platform that unites and shares the public, private, and individual sectors.

Following this, Kim Shin-woo, Director of Medical Management and Infection Control at Kyungpook National University, summarizes the COVID-19 status centered on Daegu and comprehensively presents Korea and Daegu's exemplary quarantine experiences and strategies to prepare for future infectious disease crisis situations.

In the thematic lectures and discussions, Park Young-sook, Representative of the UN Future Forum, presents on 'The Next Normal after COVID-19,' discussing changes in daily life that will come in the future after COVID-19. Kim Yong-seop, Director of the Sharp Imagination Research Institute, mentions the comprehensive impact of contactless trends on our society under the theme 'Labor and Lifestyle after COVID-19.'

Hong Ui-rak, Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of Daegu City, stated, "We hope this forum will be a place for discussions to quickly recover a new normal by practicing daily quarantine such as social distancing, wearing masks, and exercising, moving away from quarantine focused on stopping and suspending activities."
