[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Yeoju City, Gyeonggi Province, is conducting a pilot project called 'Safe ZONE Safe PASS' linked with rapid PCR testing.

According to Yeoju City on the 10th, the 'Safe ZONE Safe PASS' project is a system that allows only employees who have undergone rapid PCR testing and have no abnormalities to enter.

The city's goal is to catch two rabbits at once: proactive and aggressive quarantine administration to both control the pandemic and revitalize the local economy.

To this end, the city plans to issue Safe PASS cards to about 700 public officials across 28 departments in the main and annex buildings of the city hall, and install Safe Card readers at four entrances of the main building to establish a COVID-19 quarantine access control system.

The 'Safe ZONE Safe PASS' project will be piloted around the Lunar New Year, and employees of external agencies, eup/myeon/dong offices, and citizens visiting city hall will be able to enter city hall as before by checking their temperature and registering manually.

Meanwhile, a city official stated, "Since the introduction of rapid PCR testing at the end of last year, Yeoju City has not had any confirmed COVID-19 cases since the 15th of last month," adding, "We plan to address issues identified during this pilot project and gradually encourage its adoption in the private sector as well."
