CJ Logistics Partially Closes Gonjiam Hub Terminal Due to Confirmed COVID-19 Cases

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] CJ Logistics announced on the 6th that it partially closed the Gonjiam Hub Terminal in Gyeonggi-do. This was due to a confirmed case of COVID-19, prompting disinfection work.

An part-time employee who worked until the 4th tested positive, leading to the closure of 29 out of 414 chutes (slide-like spaces that transport goods to loading and unloading points) that handle small items.

A CJ Logistics official stated, "There are a total of 10 close contacts within the terminal," and added, "They have been notified to undergo diagnostic testing." The official also mentioned, "The confirmed case did not take the company shuttle bus but traveled using their own vehicle."

CJ Logistics explained that although some chutes were partially closed, most shipments can be processed using other chutes within the terminal. Some shipments will be sent to nearby hub terminals to minimize any delivery disruptions.

The Gonjiam Hub Terminal, with a total floor area of 300,000㎡, is the largest hub terminal in Korea and can sort 1.72 million delivery boxes per day.
