Gyeongbuk Province Supports Social Economy Enterprises with '080 Call Check-in'

Free Entry Management Toll-Free System with Just One 3-Second Phone Call

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongbuk Province announced on the 16th that it has decided to introduce the '080 Call Check-in,' a telephone visitor management service that anyone can easily use to prevent personal information leakage, to social economy enterprises in Gyeongbuk, and has been accepting applications since the 11th.

'080 Call Check-in' is a system that replaces visitor records for quarantine purposes due to COVID-19 with a phone call. Visitors simply call the 080 toll-free number listed on posters or banners installed at the store entrance and present it to the entry manager, and their entry is recorded in the visitor log within 3 seconds.

This service is spreading nationwide since last November, mainly in multi-use facilities such as local governments and public institutions, due to its high accuracy, no exposure of personal information, and simple registration process.

The service fee (4.5 KRW per call) is borne by the Gyeongbuk Social Enterprise General Trading Cooperative for social contribution purposes. Depending on future results, Gyeongsangbuk-do will support the necessary administrative and financial burdens for expansion and extension.

Social economy enterprises and intermediary support organizations located in the business area can apply by mail or email by the 23rd. If the head office is in Gyeongbuk, branches located outside Gyeongbuk can also apply.

Kim Ho-jin, Director of the Job Economy Office of Gyeongbuk Province, said, "Gyeongbuk social economy will actively and proactively respond to various issues such as society, economy, culture, and environment that have changed after COVID-19, and collaborate with various institutions to create the foundation for realizing social value."
