Gyeongju City Supports 'Safe Call Service' for Electronic Entry Log Facilities

Digital Vulnerable Groups Unfamiliar with QR Codes Show 'Positive Response'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongju City has been receiving favorable reviews since implementing the 'Safe Call Entry Management Service' on the 12th, which allows people unfamiliar with 'QR codes' and digitally vulnerable groups to verify entry to public facilities with just a phone call.

According to Gyeongju City on the 20th, in relation to COVID-19, the Safe Call Entry Management Service is being operated at 300 key management facilities, including local entertainment venues and bathhouses, which are mandatory electronic entry log facilities. This service features automatic deletion of stored information after 4 weeks, minimizing the risk of personal information exposure.

Each facility is assigned a 10-digit number starting with 080, and calling this number verifies entry authentication. The call charges are borne by the receiver and supported by Gyeongju City until the administrative order is lifted.

A Gyeongju City official stated, "Using the Safe Call Entry Management Service significantly reduces the time required for epidemiological investigations when confirmed cases occur," and added, "We hope COVID-19 will end soon by blocking the spread of infection."
