Daegu City Launches Intensive 'Mask SseuGO Movement' Campaign at Dongdaegu Station... "Blocking External Infections"

Pincet Campaign Every Evening from 6 to 7 PM

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Young-wook] Daegu City announced on the 9th that it will conduct an intensive campaign for the 'Mask WearGO Movement' every evening from 6 PM to 7 PM centered around Dongdaegu Station, the main gateway to Daegu, until January 3rd next year to block infections coming from outside the region during the year-end and New Year period.

This measure comes in response to concerns about infections within the region and the need for preemptive blocking amid the severe situation of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic centered in the Seoul metropolitan area.

In particular, Daegu City judges that the situation is more concerning than ever regarding local spread, as many students and parents from across the country are expected to visit Daegu in large numbers for university entrance exams, including irregular and regular test takers.

In this regard, together with the Daegu Safe Living Practice Citizens' Coalition, Daegu City will intensively promote the 'Mask WearGO Movement' during nighttime hours when crowds gather at Dongdaegu Station building and plaza, Dongdaegu Station Complex Transfer Center, and Dongdaegu Station subway station, which are major gateways of Daegu City.

Nam Hee-cheol, Daegu City's Safety Policy Officer, said, "The recent explosive infection trend is mainly caused by infections through external contact," and added, "Wearing masks is the best quarantine measure to prevent the spread of infections within the region, so we ask not only Daegu citizens but also all visitors to Daegu to actively participate in the mask-wearing campaign."
