First, to ensure the stable operation of elderly welfare facilities, which are frontline sites for COVID-19 response, he checked disinfection equipment such as full-body disinfectors and non-face-to-face visitation rooms, and toured convenience facilities for users, including ongoing parking lot improvement construction sites.

He then spoke with care workers, medical staff, and social workers working on site, offering words of comfort, encouragement, and requests to the residents and related personnel for their hard work.

Currently, the district is preparing grounds to improve the treatment of workers affiliated with long-term care institutions in the area and to promote welfare and status enhancement.
