[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) will operate a 'Cleaning Countermeasure Situation Room' and a 'Traffic Countermeasure Situation Room' during the Lunar New Year holiday period to ensure that residents can have a safe and comfortable holiday despite the COVID-19 situation.

First, during the Lunar New Year holiday period, as waste delivery to the metropolitan landfill site is temporarily suspended, the district will operate the Cleaning Countermeasure Situation Room divided into a situation duty team and a patrol duty team. For roadside street cleaning, mobile teams from both the district office and cleaning contractors will be organized respectively to promptly respond to cleaning complaints during the holiday period, minimizing inconvenience to residents.

An official from the Resource Circulation Division of the district stated, "From February 10 to February 14, the Lunar New Year holiday period, we ask residents to refrain from disposing of waste as much as possible and to comply with the designated disposal dates and times. In particular, when disposing of waste, please do not mix food waste and recyclables in general volume-based waste bags, and follow the separation disposal methods to actively participate in reducing household waste."

Also, this Lunar New Year holiday, Seoul city public transportation last train times will not be extended to encourage reduced movement. Additionally, there will be no increase in city buses passing through municipal cemeteries nor operation of free shuttle buses; services will operate as on regular holidays.

In particular, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, thorough spray disinfection will be conducted inside taxis and buses after each trip, and strict compliance with social distancing and quarantine guidelines for transportation companies and workers will be enforced as part of special transportation quarantine measures.

Meanwhile, Eunpyeong-gu will operate COVID-19 screening clinics from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the holiday period (February 11?14). Temporary screening clinics (Bulkwangcheon, Gupabal) will operate from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from February 11 to 13 (closed on Sunday, February 14), maintaining strict quarantine measures even during the holiday.

Park Young-mi, head of the Traffic Administration Division, said, "Since this Lunar New Year holiday period is a critical turning point for the resurgence of COVID-19, we will strengthen compliance with public transportation quarantine manuals, operate the Traffic Countermeasure Situation Room during the holiday, maintain thorough infectious disease preparedness, and respond to safety accidents."
