[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) recently announced that, in response to the increased public interest in improving our dining culture vulnerable to infectious diseases?such as sharing communal food with personal spoons?triggered by COVID-19, it will participate in the designation of "Seoul-type Safe Restaurants" promoted by Seoul City to expand the "Safe Restaurant" initiative led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and implemented by some local governments.


The target establishments for Safe Restaurant designation are general and casual Korean restaurants serving single-dish meals, and the designation requirements include four mandatory tasks: ▲ serving food separately ▲ hygienic management of spoons ▲ staff wearing masks ▲ disinfecting and ventilating the restaurant.


Additionally, Eunpyeong-gu plans to attach the designation marks (such as stickers) provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to restaurants designated as Safe Restaurants to inform consumers, support them with hygiene supplies worth approximately 150,000 KRW, and promote Safe Restaurants designated nationwide in cities, counties, and districts.


A district official stated, "Through the expansion of this Safe Restaurant designation, both restaurant owners and consumers will raise their awareness of dining culture, and furthermore, a dignified dining culture based on safety can be established," and requested participation.



Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until November 30, 2021. For more details on application methods, please check the bulletin board on the Eunpyeong-gu Public Health Center website or contact the Hygiene Safety Team of the Health and Hygiene Department.
