[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea Gas Corporation will implement full remote work from the 14th at its Daegu headquarters and six business sites in the Seoul metropolitan area as part of special quarantine measures in response to the third wave of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The Gas Corporation stated that this decision was made to proactively respond to the national crisis situation where the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases nationwide is approaching 1,000 per day. The corporation also conducted full remote work for all headquarters employees as the first energy public enterprise during the first wave in February.

Since last month, the Gas Corporation has been implementing over 30% remote work company-wide (50% in the Seoul metropolitan area) according to the government's 'Strengthened Quarantine Management Measures for the Public Sector,' but with this measure, it decided to raise the response level according to regional conditions.

The Daegu headquarters and six business sites in the Seoul metropolitan area will increase the remote work ratio to 100%, and other regions to 50%, while prohibiting regional travel such as business trips and meetings, and organizing work shifts for essential operating personnel to minimize density.

To prevent management gaps and disperse risks in major policy decisions, executives at level 2 or higher at headquarters will switch to 50% remote work.

A Gas Corporation official said, "We will respond swiftly to the national emergency situation where the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases nationwide is breaking records daily, and all employees will actively participate in quarantine measures to ensure that the mission of safe and stable natural gas supply is not disrupted."
