They encouraged homeless people, whose lives have become difficult due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and cold waves, to enter facilities, and provided cold-weather supplies, quarantine items, and food to homeless people who insisted on living on the streets.

In addition, an emergency temporary shelter is being operated through which street homeless people can freely use emergency sleeping spaces.

As of the end of November, the number of street homeless people was identified as 10.

An Ik-tae, Director of the Social Welfare Division, said, "The living environment of homeless people has become even more difficult due to the spread of COVID-19," and added, "We will do our best to help homeless people return to society as much as possible."
