[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] On the 9th, Go Seung-beom, Chairman of the Financial Services Commission, conducted an on-site visit to inspect quarantine measures following the special COVID-19 prevention measures.

According to the Financial Services Commission on the 9th, Chairman Go visited the SC Jeil Bank headquarters to check the implementation status of quarantine measures in the financial sector in accordance with the follow-up measures of the special COVID-19 prevention plan (December 6 to January 2).

At the site, Chairman Go urged all financial sectors, including banks, to strictly comply with the core quarantine rules (such as telecommuting to reduce density and wearing masks) and actively participate in preventing the spread of COVID-19. He also emphasized that, according to the business continuity plan, operations such as dispersed workplaces and cross-deployment of essential personnel must be maintained to ensure that core financial infrastructure functions continue without causing any gaps in public financial services.

SC Jeil Bank introduced company-wide efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including strengthening telecommuting for employees centered on a crisis management group involving the bank president and all executives, and minimizing internal and external face-to-face contact by banning unnecessary gatherings and meetings.

A Financial Services Commission official stated, "We plan to continuously encourage the thorough implementation of the follow-up measures of the special prevention plan by strengthening joint on-site inspections with the Financial Supervisory Service, focusing on vulnerable areas such as call centers."
