It was found that 8 out of 10 Seongdong residents feel proud of Seongdong District's proactive COVID-19 response policies.

The score given by the residents was 93.5 points.

Also, 87.0% of respondents answered that "there is no autonomous district in Seoul with better COVID-19 response capabilities than Seongdong District," showing great trust in the district's COVID-19 response policies.

Since the nationwide outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, the district operated the first screening clinic equipped with a negative pressure facility in Seoul and introduced the nation's first non-contact mobile electronic log system, which is interpreted as having received positive evaluations from residents for its swift and accurate COVID-19 response.

On the 5th, the district announced the results of a "Public Opinion Survey on Seongdong District's COVID-19 Response Policies" conducted among residents. This survey was conducted via mobile from March 16 to 18, with a total of 790 residents responding. To enhance the objectivity of the results, 300 respondents were randomly selected and analyzed.

The survey results showed that 86.0% of respondents felt proud as residents of Seongdong District of the "Seongdong-type mobile electronic log" and the "Essential Workers Support Policy," which were first implemented nationwide by Seongdong District.

In particular, the number of residents who answered "strongly agree" (56.0%) was about twice that of those who answered "agree" (30.0%), indicating a strong sense of belonging and pride as residents of Seongdong District.

Previously, in May of last year, Seongdong District introduced the "Seongdong-type mobile electronic log," the first of its kind nationwide, which was expanded nationwide in June of the same year and has since become widely used. The "Ordinance on Protection and Support for Essential Workers," enacted in September 2020, highlighted workers who must perform face-to-face duties even during social disasters like COVID-19 and led to the government's essential workers support policies.

Additionally, during the "mask shortage" in March last year, the district quickly secured KF94 masks, distributed them to residents through each neighborhood community center, and held "Visiting Veranda Concerts" to provide psychological quarantine for residents whose cultural and leisure activities decreased due to increased time spent at home, demonstrating leading COVID-19 response policies.

To evaluate whether these COVID-19 response policies were helpful, a public opinion survey was conducted using a 5-point scale, with mask distribution policies scoring 4.5 points and essential workers protection and support policies scoring 4.1 points, generally receiving high marks.

Based on this survey, the district plans to develop and supplement policies to efficiently respond to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

In particular, since residents showed high agreement on the necessity of quarantine measures for multi-use facilities such as hospitals and religious facilities, public offices like the district office, and protection and support for essential workers in care, childcare, and education, the district plans to actively promote these policies going forward.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong District, emphasized, "Seongdong District's leading COVID-19 response policies were possible thanks to the trust and support of residents who felt proud to live in Seongdong even during the COVID-19 pandemic last year," adding, "We will focus all our capabilities on swift and accurate disaster response until COVID-19 is eradicated by reflecting the needs and opinions of residents analyzed through this survey."
