Seocho-gu Supports Installation Costs for Restaurant Table Partitions (Up to 500,000 KRW)

50% Support for Table Partition Installation Costs in Restaurants (Up to 500,000 KRW) to Ease COVID-19 Prevention Burden on Business Owners... Applications Accepted from January 14 to January 28, Selection and Individual Notification Scheduled for Early February... First-Come, First-Served Recruitment for Businesses Wishing to Receive Table Partition Installation Cost Support

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) is recruiting local dining establishments on a first-come, first-served basis to support 50% of the cost (up to 500,000 KRW) for installing partitions between tables to prevent COVID-19 infection and spread within restaurants.

As COVID-19 has become prolonged, installing partitions between tables in local restaurants has become even more important.

This is because wearing masks while eating indoors is difficult, raising concerns about cluster infections and droplet transmission of COVID-19 within restaurants.

The district is promoting this support to prevent COVID-19 infection and spread within restaurants, assist businesses struggling due to the extension of social distancing measures, and help citizens dine with peace of mind.

Applications are accepted from January 14 to January 28. The Seocho-gu Hygiene Department will select supported businesses and notify them individually in early February.

Selected businesses will install partitions between tables measuring at least 70 cm in width and length and receive 50% of the installation cost (up to 500,000 KRW) as support.

The support targets businesses operating general restaurants, snack bars, and bakeries within Seocho-gu with an area of 100㎡ or less that wish to receive support for table partition installation costs.

Detailed information about the table partition support can be found in the notices and announcements section on the Seocho-gu Office website, and applications and inquiries can be made to the Seocho-gu Public Health Center Hygiene Department.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo stated, “Following last year’s support project for replacing and cleaning restaurant ventilation fans to help self-employed people struggling due to social distancing, this year we have prepared support for restaurant table partitions. We hope this will assist business owners facing management difficulties due to the economic downturn caused by reduced consumer sentiment and help create a safe social distancing dining atmosphere for residents.”
