[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Korea Housing Finance Corporation (HF) will shorten the business hours of its 9 branches located in the Seoul metropolitan area by one hour from the usual schedule for three weeks until the 28th to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the metropolitan area.

According to the Housing Finance Corporation on the 9th, the revised business hours for the metropolitan branches are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This measure follows the government's decision to raise the social distancing level to 2.5 in the metropolitan area starting the previous day. HF announced that it will temporarily shorten business hours for three weeks while social distancing level 2.5 is in effect to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce infection risks for visiting customers.

HF has provided prior notice about the shortened business hours to customers who had scheduled housing pension consultations at the metropolitan branches. For branches outside the metropolitan area, business hours remain unchanged, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

An HF official stated, “This measure is temporarily implemented as a public institution in accordance with the government's social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and minimize customer infections,” and added, “We ask for the deep understanding of our customers despite any inconvenience caused by the branch visits.”
