COVID-19 Resurgence, 'Daegu University Nursing Department' Takes Action! ... Conducting 'Infectious Disease Prevention' Activities Including Handwashing Campaign

An Opportunity to Raise Awareness of the Need for Current Students to Participate in Preventive Activities

Supporters composed of nursing students from Daegu University are conducting quizzes on infection prevention guidelines, such as handwashing campaigns, targeting current students.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] The Department of Nursing at Daegu University conducted a handwashing campaign to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as part of the activities of the Global Korean Nurses Foundation (GKNF) supporters, sponsored by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.

The 10 supporters, composed of first- and second-year nursing students, recently held a handwashing campaign targeting enrolled students in the lobby on the first floor of the College of Business Administration building, providing explanations on infectious disease prevention guidelines and offering experiences with a bacteria measuring device.

On this day, the supporters used pre-made educational panels to explain infectious disease prevention rules to participants, and by answering quiz questions correctly, participants received portable hand sanitizers. They compared the measurements before and after handwashing to inform students about the scientific effects and importance of handwashing.

Student Koo Hyun-seo, who participated in the campaign, said, “At this moment when COVID-19 is spreading again, it was a meaningful experience to re-emphasize the importance of personal hygiene and infectious disease prevention methods that university students tend to overlook.”
