Gangnam-gu Helps COVID-19 Recoverees Return to Daily Life... How?

Providing 4-Week Health Management Program from May... Stepwise Diagnosis of Sensory, Strength, Mind, and Physical Fitness

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) has been providing a 4-week health management program for recovered COVID-19 patients in the district since last month to help them regain a healthy daily life.

This program is offered only to those isolated at the Gangnam Residential Treatment Center who agree to participate in the service.

If recovered patients complete the missions during the period, the district monitors and provides feedback on their physical and emotional condition once a week. The medical staff from the Gangnam Metabolic Syndrome Management Center, consisting of nurses, exercise therapists, and nutritionists, are in charge.

The first week is the "Adaptation Phase," focusing on managing fear of relapse and recovering from sensory aftereffects. The second week, the "Preparation Phase," helps with sleep management and muscle strength recovery. The third week, the "Stabilization Phase," supports mental recovery by monitoring psychiatric conditions such as depression. The fourth week, the "Execution Phase," supplements social adaptability through a physical fitness recovery program.

Participants receive a discharge kit worth approximately 70,000 to 80,000 KRW. It includes a 28-day mission log, 12 mission items, and an eco-bag containing a silicone cup, foam roller, massage ball, and more. One-on-one remote health consultations via phone are also provided, and if abnormalities are detected, patients are registered for metabolic syndrome management at the public health center and receive support linked with the Mental Health Welfare Center.

Meanwhile, patients with underlying conditions such as hypertension and diabetes require systematic health management to restore their previous health after recovery. As of the 2nd, Gangnam has a cumulative total of 2,569 confirmed cases.
