[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 7th that it will conduct emergency disinfection of city bus stops and taxis to ensure the safety of citizens using public transportation in response to the resurgence of COVID-19.

Since the social distancing level in Suncheon City was raised to Level 2 on the 5th, the city is focusing on disinfecting facilities frequently touched by citizens, such as seats at city bus stops and bus information displays, so that many citizens can use public transportation with confidence.

In addition, city bus and taxi companies are conducting daily disinfection for passenger safety, and at Suncheon Station, the volunteer group Suncheon Model Drivers Association is operating a taxi disinfection booth to make every effort in disinfection.

The city also proactively conducted disinfection of public transportation during the COVID-19 outbreak last year, and this time as well, it plans to protect the safety of citizens using public transportation through prompt disinfection.

A city official stated, “We will do our best to ensure that public transportation, which is heavily used by citizens, can be used safely,” and added, “We ask passengers using public transportation to also comply with disinfection rules such as proper mask-wearing and hand sanitizing.”
