[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Mayor Baek Gun-gi of Yongin will also participate in monitoring COVID-19 self-quarantined individuals. Earlier, Yongin City increased the number of personnel managing self-quarantined individuals to about 2,400.

On the 20th, Yongin City announced that 907 people, including Mayor Baek Gun-gi and senior officials, were deployed for COVID-19 self-quarantine monitoring tasks. Accordingly, the number of personnel managing self-quarantined individuals in Yongin City increased from the previous 1,533 to 2,440.

However, employees of health centers overseeing COVID-19 tasks and community service centers in towns and townships with heavy civil complaint workloads were excluded.

The monitoring officials deliver necessary items to self-quarantined individuals, such as quarantine notices, disinfectants, thermometers, dedicated waste bags, and guidance documents listing daily living rules.

Additionally, until the self-quarantine is lifted, they check more than three times daily via phone calls and the self-quarantine safety protection app for fever, respiratory symptoms, and whether the individual has left the quarantine location.

As of this day, the COVID-19 monitoring targets in Yongin City include 2,582 self-quarantined individuals and 575 active surveillance subjects, totaling 3,157 people.

Mayor Baek Gun-gi also called Mr. A, who entered self-quarantine on this day, to guide him on the living rules to follow during the quarantine period and to check if there were any inconveniences.

Mayor Baek said, "Since the spread of COVID-19 is rapidly increasing in this serious situation, we have started monitoring work together with all employees with the meaning of overcoming this crisis with one heart and one mind," and urged, "We ask all citizens to join in overcoming COVID-19."
