To block the spread of COVID-19 community infections, the district focuses on protecting the health and safety of residents by inspecting the compliance status of more than 13,000 facilities required to follow quarantine rules according to social distancing levels, centered on the Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters.


Support for self-reliance is provided through elderly and disabled job projects, and protection of vulnerable groups is strengthened with customized support such as heating assistance, Love Restaurant, and delivery of lunch boxes and side dishes.


Support for life stabilization is also provided through designation of a special period for price management measures, price labeling system, and origin labeling inspections.


In addition, thorough management in safety areas such as traffic, forest fires, and agricultural and livestock facilities is conducted to prepare for disasters and accidents in advance.


Director Moon said, “I hope that all residents can spend a safe and warm winter without accidents during this difficult time due to COVID-19,”
