Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, visited the Gwangjin-gu and Nowon-gu joint residential treatment center on the afternoon of the 14th to check the operation status and encourage the staff.

Gwangjin-gu has newly established and is operating a residential treatment center for COVID-19 confirmed residents since October 5. This is to accommodate and treat asymptomatic or mild patients who do not require hospitalization in specialized medical institutions amid the still high daily number of confirmed cases.

The center has 192 rooms and 222 beds and is jointly operated with Nowon-gu, a cooperating district.

Admission is in principle limited to residents of Gwangjin-gu and the cooperating district, and patients must be asymptomatic or mild with a body temperature below 38°C. Even those with underlying diseases are eligible only if controllable with medication, while smokers and pregnant women are excluded.

The operation of the center is overseen by Gwangjin-gu, which handles ▲budget execution and accounting ▲selection and management of external contract personnel ▲and other operational matters, while the cooperating district shares personnel and various support for operation.

Since March this year, the district has been jointly operating the residential treatment center with neighboring autonomous districts. From the end of last year to early this year, for two months, local lodging facilities were designated as residential treatment centers, accommodating 144 asymptomatic confirmed residents.

Mayor Kim Seon-gap of Gwangjin-gu said, “As vaccinations continue, the rate of severe cases is decreasing while asymptomatic and mild confirmed cases are increasing, resulting in a high operation rate of the residential treatment center,” adding, “We will efficiently manage the situation by combining home treatment and bed allocation according to each patient’s condition.”
