[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) is implementing the '2021 Lunar New Year Comprehensive Plan' to ensure residents have a comfortable and warm Lunar New Year holiday, the biggest traditional holiday of the nation.

The district has designated the period from the 8th to the 15th as the 8-day Lunar New Year comprehensive plan implementation period to minimize various accidents and inconveniences that may occur during the holiday. The plan focuses on eight key areas: ▲Spending a warm holiday ▲Price stabilization measures ▲Traffic measures ▲Snow removal and cold wave measures ▲Safety and fire prevention measures ▲Medical and health measures ▲Resolving residents' inconveniences ▲Establishing public service discipline.

In particular, the district is focusing on strengthening COVID-19 prevention measures as part of the comprehensive plan. To maintain a seamless medical system, a 24-hour call center will operate, and the Gwangjin-gu Public Health Center screening clinic (weekdays and weekends from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) as well as the temporary screening clinics in Jayang and Junggok (weekdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., weekends 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.) will operate normally.

Additionally, the COVID-19 Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters situation room will have 104 personnel working in shifts of 13 per day, and 699 public officials will be deployed as dedicated quarantine officers.

The district will inspect key quarantine rules at facilities where people may gather during the Lunar New Year holiday, such as cultural facilities, entertainment venues, and restaurants. At the Dong Seoul Terminal, where there is a large flow of people, temperature checks and hand sanitization will be requested for passengers at the disembarkation area and lobby.

Furthermore, the district is actively promoting the ban on gatherings of five or more people from different households, even among immediate family members, during the holiday period.

From February 10 to 15, the district will operate a 24-hour comprehensive situation room for six days.

The comprehensive situation room will organize five task forces: ▲Traffic measures team ▲Snow removal measures team ▲Park measures team ▲Cleaning measures team ▲Medical measures team, to promptly respond to emergencies in each sector and alleviate residents' inconveniences.

In addition, to help vulnerable neighbors have a warm Lunar New Year holiday, the district will visit welfare support recipients and institutions, and conduct facility inspections to strengthen safety management at social welfare facilities.

Moreover, to prevent cold waves and safety and fire accidents, the district will maintain a situation duty system, activate an emergency contact network immediately upon emergencies, and establish a response system with related organizations.

Also, an emergency medical guidance situation room will operate to maintain an emergency medical system with local emergency medical institutions such as Konkuk University Hospital and Hyemin Hospital, ensuring treatment is available for emergency patients. Medical institutions available during the holiday and pharmacies on duty will be designated, posted on the district website, and announced.

Furthermore, to resolve residents' inconveniences, a cleaning situation team will operate to promptly respond to cleaning complaints. There will be a pre-holiday intensive garbage collection period until the 10th, and normal operations will resume from the 14th.
