Yeonggwang-gun Provides Free Support for 'Safe Call Entry Management Service'

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 26th that it will provide the 'Safe Call Entry Management Service' free of charge to 1,141 food and public hygiene establishments to enhance the efficiency of COVID-19 prevention management.

'Safe Call' is a service that allows visitors to easily leave a visit record by calling the establishment with a mobile phone, reducing the hassle of manual logbook writing and resolving inconveniences for elderly people who have difficulty using QR codes.

It also prevents personal information leakage due to negligent log management and is very useful for epidemiological investigations as it can accurately identify movement paths and contacts when a COVID-19 confirmed case occurs.

Despite the convenience of Safe Call, many food and public hygiene establishments do not use it due to the cost.

When visitors use Safe Call, a cost of 4.82 KRW per case is incurred by the business owner.

To ease the burden on food and public hygiene establishments struggling due to COVID-19, the county plans to support the Safe Call service costs until the end of the COVID-19 situation.

Applications for the Safe Call service can be made through the Sports Industry and Hygiene Team.

A county official said, "We expect that the Safe Call service will improve efficient quarantine management and epidemiological investigations of food and public hygiene establishments, as well as enhance the convenience of visitors," and added, "We ask for active participation in entry management through Safe Call for the safety of all county residents."
