Gangbuk-gu Senior Center Reopens Its Doors
Only individuals who have completed the second vaccination can use the facility for 4 hours a day from 1 PM to 5 PM on weekdays... Programs focused on non-active and non-contact activities such as Baduk and Janggi will be primarily operated
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Kyum-soo) will reopen more than 100 senior centers that had been closed for a long time due to COVID-19 starting from July 5.
The eligible users are seniors who have completed the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Access is allowed only for 4 hours from 1 PM to 5 PM on weekdays. Before entering the facility, visitors must present a vaccination certificate issued by a medical institution or public health center where they received the vaccine to the quarantine manager.
At the senior centers, activities will be limited to small-scale, non-active, and non-contact programs such as calligraphy, Baduk, and Janggi. Exercise programs with a high risk of droplet transmission, such as gymnastics and aerobics, are prohibited. Eating, drinking, and smoking inside the facility are also not allowed.
Before reopening, the district office is putting all efforts into quarantine activities. The senior center presidents and general managers have been designated as quarantine management officers to thoroughly manage visitors by checking entry logs and monitoring for suspicious symptoms.
Indoor disinfection of the facilities has been completed, and compliance with quarantine rules has been carefully reviewed. An organic cooperation system with public health centers and fire stations has also been checked to respond quickly in case of emergencies.
