[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 15th that it will invest 2.5 billion KRW of city funds as part of the first phase of the Daegu-type COVID-19 economic quarantine measures this year to support quarantine supplies for facilities vulnerable to mass infections.

Ultraviolet sterilizers will be provided to 1,270 daycare centers, and hand sanitizers, masks, and other quarantine supplies will be distributed to religious facilities (2,200 locations), movie theaters (20 locations), amusement facilities (12 locations), and traditional markets (150 locations).

For daycare centers, to reduce the risk of mass infections caused by infants sharing educational materials and toys, the cost of purchasing ultraviolet sterilizers for educational materials, teaching aids, and toys will be supported. Applications will be received by the relevant district and county departments and distributed differentially according to the number of enrolled children.

Regarding religious facilities, four types of quarantine supplies will be directly provided by Daegu City by mid-April, and hand sanitizers and quarantine gloves will be distributed to movie theaters and amusement facilities by the end of March to create an environment where citizens can visit these facilities with peace of mind.

Daegu Mayor Kwon Young-jin pledged, "We will do our best to establish an optimized Daegu-type quarantine system and overcome the COVID-19 situation together with our citizens."
