[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 12th that it was selected as an excellent institution in the 2020 'Safe Restaurant Operation' evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs targeting 17 cities and provinces nationwide, and received the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Commendation.

Daegu City designated 783 restaurants as Safe Restaurants to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and improve the dining culture vulnerable to infectious diseases, and carried out support for serving utensils for shared dishes, installation of safe counter partitions, and the Safe Restaurant Challenge campaign.

In particular, the effort to create a voluntary participation atmosphere among dining establishments by posting the Safe Restaurant's quarantine practice items on SNS in a challenge format and providing incentives (quarantine supplies) to excellent quarantine establishments such as Safe Restaurants received favorable evaluations.

Chae Hong-ho, Deputy Mayor of Daegu City, said, "As citizens' demand for a safe dining culture has increased due to COVID-19, improving the dining culture has become a necessity rather than a choice," and added, "This year, we will expand the designation of Safe Restaurants to more than 1,000 places to create a safe dining environment where citizens can use with confidence."

Meanwhile, Safe Restaurants are designated based on compliance with three essential tasks: ▲providing utensils for shared dishes ▲hygienic management of spoons and chopsticks ▲wearing masks by employees, as well as additional implementation tasks by district and county.
