Gwanak-gu Signs Business Agreement with Local Self-Sufficiency Center to Expand Jobs for Low-Income Groups

Seoul Gwanak Community Self-Sufficiency Center Signs MOU to Tackle Both 'Quarantine' and 'Job Creation'... Responsible for Sorting, Individually Packaging, and Contactless Delivery of Hygiene Kits for COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Cases

Hygiene Kit Assembly for Self-Quarantine Individuals

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) has been conducting the delivery of hygiene kits to COVID-19 self-quarantine individuals since February through an agreement with the Seoul Gwanak Regional Self-Sufficiency Center.

The district's Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters identifies those subject to quarantine and prepares hygiene kits (including masks, hand sanitizer, thermometers, waste bags, and information leaflets), while the Seoul Gwanak Regional Self-Sufficiency Center is responsible for sorting, individually packaging, and contactless delivery of the kits.

This agreement is particularly meaningful as it creates jobs for low-income groups during the district’s quarantine efforts, and participating residents from economically vulnerable groups take pride in contributing to COVID-19 prevention activities.

As managing self-quarantine individuals has become a critical task amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, over the past five months since the agreement, hygiene kits have been accurately and safely delivered to more than 9,000 self-quarantine individuals in the area.

Additionally, the district has designated dedicated public officials for managing COVID-19 self-quarantine individuals, who monitor health status and manage quarantine compliance through phone consultations and AI call services during the quarantine period.

Efforts are also made to support self-quarantine individuals by addressing difficulties they face, such as confirming issues during quarantine and facilitating the purchase and delivery of medicines to alleviate daily inconveniences.

Park Junhee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, stated, “This agreement with the Seoul Gwanak Regional Self-Sufficiency Center for hygiene kit delivery has greatly contributed to COVID-19 prevention efforts. We will continue to thoroughly manage self-quarantine individuals and strengthen quarantine measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the community, while also persistently working to create jobs for low-income groups.”
