Daejeon City "City Buses Disinfected 5-6 Times Daily... Use with Confidence"

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City announced on the 29th that it is repeatedly disinfecting about 980 local city buses 5 to 6 times a day to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The disinfection work is being carried out to strengthen quarantine measures and alleviate passengers' anxiety, reflecting the recent application of social distancing level 4 in Daejeon.

The city bus disinfection is being conducted by 122 participants of the Hope Work Support Project. When a city bus finishes its operation and arrives at the terminal, the interior handrails, poles, and seat cushions are wiped with disinfectant, and hard-to-reach empty spaces such as under the seats are sprayed with disinfectant using portable sprayers.

Since the 22nd, the city has also been conducting special inspections on quarantine status at city bus terminals in cooperation with transportation operators.

The main inspection items include compliance with quarantine rules by transportation workers, mask-wearing, adherence to disinfection methods, and ventilation of city buses after operation ends.

Additionally, transportation operators repeatedly remind bus passengers to wear masks, refrain from conversations and eating inside the bus, and use hand sanitizers, following quarantine guidelines.

Meanwhile, since the 26th, the city has started COVID-19 vaccination for about 2,400 local city bus transportation workers and plans to complete the first dose by the 13th of next month.
