[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] “We also went out for quarantine. It was a mental quarantine activity.”

Dong-Eui University (President Han Su-hwan) Regional Collaboration Center (Director Yoon Hyun-seo) and Dasarang Complex Cultural Arts Center (Director Park Sung-il) conducted the ‘Gayadong Mental Quarantine Project’ targeting about 50 households in the Gayadong area on May 7, Parents' Day.

The project is part of the Ministry of Education’s University Innovation Project carried out by Dong-Eui University, aimed at alleviating the sense of isolation among local residents caused by COVID-19 and supporting healthy living through talent-sharing activities by clubs related to departments and majors.

They visited residents’ homes directly to provide oral care, infectious disease prevention, and band-based stretching education.

The event involved 18 students and faculty advisors from Dong-Eui University’s clubs: ‘Bong Sarang’ of the Department of Dental Hygiene (Advisor Yoon Hyun-seo), ‘Areumdri’ of the Department of Clinical Pathology (Advisor Park Chung-moo), and ‘Happy-T’ of the Department of Physical Therapy (Advisor Lee Soo-kyung), as well as 15 staff members including Director Park Sung-il of Dasarang Complex Cultural Arts Center.

Yoon Hyun-seo, Director of Dong-Eui University Regional Collaboration Center, explained, “While COVID-19 prevention and quarantine activities are important, the need for mental quarantine is also being emphasized as the situation prolongs.”

Director Yoon added, “If social distancing is eased, we want to organize various experiential activities by departments and majors to create a communication platform between residents and the local community.”
