Gyeongnam Social Service Institute Fills Care Gaps Caused by COVID-19

Targeting Vulnerable Groups and Welfare Facilities Including Families Confirmed, Elderly in Self-Quarantine

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Gyeongsangnam-do Social Service Agency is providing 'Emergency and Gap Care Services' to address care gaps caused by COVID-19.

The 'Emergency and Gap Care Services' consist of two types of care services: emergency care services and recruitment and training projects for care personnel at medical institutions.

The target recipients of emergency care services include vulnerable groups self-isolating at home due to COVID-19 infection or close contact, children, elderly, and disabled individuals whose existing care services were suspended due to the spread of COVID-19, and social welfare facilities experiencing a shortage of care personnel due to staff COVID-19 infections.

Care personnel live with self-isolating or infected individuals and provide comprehensive services such as health care including four daily temperature checks, meal support, and daily living care such as diaper care.

Meanwhile, last December, the province also dispatched care personnel to homes of dementia patients in self-isolation to provide care services until the end of the isolation period.
