Seocho-gu Supports Customized Quarantine Supplies for 330 Religious Facilities

Preparation of Disinfection Supplies Worth 500,000 KRW Including Non-contact Thermometers, Sterilizing Disinfectant Water, Hand Sanitizers, and KF94 Masks

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) will provide customized quarantine supplies to 330 religious facilities in the area.

This support was prepared to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in the local community by providing customized quarantine supplies so that religious facilities can thoroughly manage COVID-19 quarantine.

The district secured the necessary budget by allocating over 200 million won in supplementary budget last month and conducted two preliminary surveys for customized support.

First, a primary sampling survey was conducted targeting 40 religious facilities, deciding on quarantine supplies including non-contact thermometers, sterilizing disinfectant water, hand sanitizers, and KF94 masks. Then, in the second survey, demand surveys were conducted with three versions by varying the proportion of each quarantine supply item, which will be distributed according to the requests of each religious facility.

As a result of the demand survey, churches and cathedrals with many furniture items such as chairs applied for set A, which has a higher proportion of sterilizing disinfectant water, while most temples with floor seating applied for set C, which has a relatively higher proportion of KF masks.

The district also put great effort into selecting the supplies. It provides high-end non-contact thermometers that can record and manage temperature linked with smartphone apps, and for KF94 masks, prepared beak-shaped masks with four-layer filters, carefully designed to facilitate breathing.

In addition to quarantine supplies, letters containing comforting messages for the weary hearts due to prolonged COVID-19 will be delivered to each facility to add warmth.

Furthermore, the district visits religious facilities every weekend to check compliance with quarantine rules and provide guidance to prevent the local spread of COVID-19.

Mayor Eunhee Jo said, “I deeply thank religious organizations for actively cooperating with social distancing due to COVID-19, and I hope this customized quarantine supply will be of some help in overcoming COVID-19.”
