Gwanak-gu Supports Restaurant Table Partitions for Droplet Prevention

Support for Installation of Table Dividers in Restaurants, Cafes, and Bakeries... 150 Businesses Selected by Application Order... Applications Accepted Until the 31st, Up to 10 Applications Allowed

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is implementing a project to support the installation of droplet-blocking table partitions for local restaurants struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, including restrictions on private gatherings of five or more people and business operation limits.

As part of the core quarantine rules for restaurants and cafes, when it is difficult to maintain a 1-meter distance between tables or to leave one seat/table empty to reduce density, partitions will be installed between tables to ensure distancing within the establishment, block droplets between users, and prevent COVID-19 infection and spread.

The support targets general restaurants, snack bars, and bakeries located in Gwanak-gu that require table partitions. Applications are limited to a maximum of 10 per business, and support will be provided to up to 150 businesses based on application order.

The application period is until the 31st of this month. Considering the size of most tables in businesses, the transparent partitions will be 60cm wide, 55cm high, and 3cm thick, with a promotional sticker stating "Wear a mask and refrain from talking while eating" attached. Installation and delivery to each business will begin in June.

There is no separate cost for business owners; however, priority will be given to small businesses if applications exceed capacity, and applications may close early depending on the order of submission.

To apply, business owners should check the announcement on the Gwanak-gu Office website (News → Notices), then submit the signed application form and a copy of the business registration certificate either by visiting in person, fax, or email (2012010411@ga.go.kr).

For more detailed information regarding the application, please contact the Hygiene Division.

Mayor Park Jun-hee stated, “As COVID-19 continues for a long time, local restaurants and cafes are facing difficulties. We hope this table partition installation support will help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and improve business operations even a little.” He added, “We will continue to promote various support policies to restore precious daily life and revitalize the local economy.”
