Gwangju Dong-gu, Joint Simulation Drill for Rapid Response to Food Poisoning Outbreak

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 28th that it conducted the '2022 Food Poisoning Incident Response Field Drill' jointly with Gwangju Metropolitan City and five autonomous districts on the 26th to ensure residents' dietary safety.

This drill, held at the district office's first-floor cafeteria, was organized to improve public officials' prompt and accurate response capabilities and to establish a smooth cooperation system among related organizations in preparation for food poisoning incidents during the summer season.

The drill proceeded under the assumption that a suspected food poisoning patient occurred at a mass catering facility. The responsible public officials collected samples of cooked food and the environment on-site, and conducted epidemiological investigations targeting the cook and the suspected patient.

Im Taek, head of Dong-gu Office, said, "I hope this drill served as an opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of actual field operations by reflecting various opinions raised during the exercise," and added, "We will continue to devote ourselves to ongoing promotional activities for food poisoning prevention and the safety of residents from food poisoning."
