[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) announced that it received a special award for the "COVID-19 Overcome!! Daily Life Recovery Project" in the 2022 comprehensive evaluation of the food hygiene sector hosted by Seoul City.

This evaluation is conducted by Seoul City to assess special cases in the food hygiene sector among autonomous districts, and three districts including Seocho-gu were selected.

Seocho-gu's award this time is a remarkable achievement of winning the special award for two consecutive years, following the special award in 2021 for the "Seocho-gu-Police Station Collaborative Quarantine Mobile Inspection Team."

The "COVID-19 Overcome Daily Life Recovery Project" is a key project of the 8th term of Seocho-gu, aimed at supporting residents and small business owners exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, wisely responding to the risk of re-outbreak, and providing residents with a safe return to daily life. It was promoted through 69 projects in four areas.

The food hygiene sector projects that received the special award include ▲support for COVID-19 quarantine supplies for small restaurants ▲Healing Academy for consumer food hygiene inspectors ▲hygiene diagnosis and professional consulting for delivery restaurants.

Seocho-gu was recognized for significantly supporting quarantine supplies for small restaurants facing economic difficulties such as decreased sales due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, thereby establishing a more thorough quarantine network.

Also, the Healing Academy was operated to heal the tired bodies and minds of consumer food hygiene inspectors who contributed to preventing the spread of COVID-19 by conducting on-site quarantine rule inspections and monitoring activities, receiving positive responses.

In particular, the "Hygiene Diagnosis and Professional Consulting for Delivery Restaurants" was highly evaluated as a project responding to changes caused by COVID-19 by conducting hygiene diagnosis and customized consulting for all delivery restaurants in the area so that residents can eat with peace of mind in response to the rapidly increasing demand for delivery food due to COVID-19.

Jeon Seong-su, Mayor of Seocho-gu, said, "We will continue to make efforts to create a food culture where residents can feel safe."
