Gangnam-gu Publishes 'COVID-19 Era! Any Unique Welfare Programs?'

'Untact Era, Ontact Administration' and 23 Projects in 4 Areas Included... 'Gangnam-gu's Unique Administrative Casebook'

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has published an administrative casebook titled "In the Era of COVID-19! Is There Any Unique Welfare?" which compiles the stories of public officials who struggled to provide 'ontact administration' for vulnerable groups marginalized during the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic last year.

This casebook contains Gangnam-gu's unique welfare administration initiatives discovered through the transition to non-face-to-face work due to social distancing.

It includes a total of 23 projects across four categories: 'Ontact Administrative Services in the Untact Era,' 'Administrative Innovations Before the COVID-19 New Normal,' 'Overcoming the COVID-19 Crisis Together,' and 'Stories of Specially Elegant Welfare Spaces.'

Representative services include ▲easy mobile application for welfare benefits ▲simple inquiry of COVID-19 disaster relief funds ▲rapid mask support for vulnerable groups ▲proactive COVID-19 testing for workers in high-risk facilities ▲and the 'Let's Do It Together' hope donation relay campaign.

Also featured are vivid episodes written directly by new public officials who visited welfare facilities such as the 'Gangnam 70+ Lounge' and 'Mimiwi Clean Playground,' which were reborn through improvements last year, as well as by the practitioners who promoted each project and the users, adding both interest and emotion.

Jeong Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, "This contains the stories of welfare workers who struggled for vulnerable neighbors in every corner of Gangnam." He added, "Please watch over the 'Elegant Gangnam' style coexistence that embraces me, you, and us even in difficult times."
