[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jung-gu (District Mayor Seo Yang-ho) announced that it will fully open senior centers, welfare centers, swimming pools, and indoor sports facilities as incentives for those who have completed COVID-19 vaccinations.

Jung-gu reported that regarding COVID-19 vaccinations for those aged 75 and older, 85% of the total eligible population made reservations, with a 98% first dose and 95% second dose vaccination rate, forming herd immunity at the highest level nationwide.

Following the government's announcement of incentives for COVID-19 vaccine recipients on May 31, Jung-gu expanded the facilities mainly used by the elderly.

Until now, senior centers operated from 1 PM to 5 PM starting in April, but from June 1, they will be open all day, and from June 7, meals will be provided to those who have completed vaccination.

Additionally, restrictions on the number of participants in programs held at welfare centers and sports facilities will be exempted for those who have completed vaccination.

Furthermore, the Chungmu Sports Center and Hoehyeon Sports Center swimming pools, which had been closed due to COVID-19, are scheduled to open from June 14, and vaccinated individuals can use them without capacity limits.

The Veterans Hall had operated programs mainly online due to concerns about COVID-19 infection, but from July, it plans to expand face-to-face programs for vaccinated individuals.

Also, popular dynamic programs such as singing classes and yoga, which had been canceled at welfare centers and community centers due to droplet infection concerns, will be reopened and will accept student applications.

Seo Yang-ho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "We will further expand the opening of public facilities for vaccinated individuals," adding, "If more than 70% of local residents complete vaccinations in the second half of this year, herd immunity will be formed, and we hope to return to daily life without masks as before."
