[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is providing quarantine supplies to all religious facilities in the area.

This support was prepared to assist religious facilities, which have been relatively discriminated against by being excluded from support such as for small business owners despite participating in high-intensity social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

About 400 facilities in the area, including Christian, Buddhist, Catholic, and Won Buddhism facilities, which have been managed as gathering-restricted targets due to COVID-19, are eligible for support.

The support consists of quarantine supplies worth approximately 500,000 KRW per facility (a quarantine kit composed of an indoor air purifier or automatic body temperature measurement device, hand sanitizer gel, spray disinfectant, masks, etc.).

The Seongbuk-gu Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters decided this through deliberation.

Seongbuk-gu Mayor Lee Seung-ro said, “We deeply thank the religious community for actively cooperating with social distancing despite the difficult situation caused by COVID-19,” and added, “We hope this quarantine supplies support will be of some help, and we ask for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of residents until the moment we overcome COVID-19.”

Seongbuk-gu is sending advance notification texts and receiving requests for desired types of supplies from each facility for this quarantine supplies support. They plan to complete the distribution of quarantine supplies to all facilities by May.

For more detailed information regarding this quarantine supplies support, please contact the Culture and Sports Division of Seongbuk-gu Office.

Meanwhile, Seongbuk-gu visits religious facilities every weekend to check compliance with quarantine rules and provide guidance on quarantine rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community, and has led cooperation between administration and the religious community to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through continuous communication.
