Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin Distributes Coffee and Health Cookies on Commute Instead of Holding New Year's Ceremony
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] On the morning of January 4th, the first working day of the new year, an unusual scene unfolded on the first floor of Daegu City Hall, where commuting public officials happily received unexpected warm coffee and healthy cookie gifts.
On that day, Mayor Kwon Young-jin greeted employees one by one with eye contact in time for the start of work, taking a moment to encourage them at the beginning of the year.
Daegu City used to start work every year with New Year's greetings and an opening ceremony with executives on New Year's morning, but considering the strengthened social distancing measures due to the nationwide spread of COVID-19 and the rapid increase in local confirmed cases, all such events were canceled.
