Daejeon City announced that it will operate an Emergency Infectious Disease Control Situation Room from the 9th to the 17th, anticipating large crowds during the 0si Festival period.

The situation room will be staffed by about 110 people across six teams, including employees from the city and five district public health centers, and will operate 24 hours a day. It will monitor for outbreaks of infectious diseases and respond swiftly in case of any incidents.

Infectious disease control measures will be continuously implemented at the festival venues throughout the event. In cooperation with Dong-gu and Jung-gu public health centers, the jurisdiction of the festival area will be divided to conduct disinfection operations.

Additionally, two mobile disinfection teams, comprising six members, will be deployed in the festival area (from Daejeon Station to the former Chungnam Provincial Government Office) to carry out residual disinfection and prepare for mosquito-borne infectious diseases due to rising temperatures.

Son Cheolung, Director of Sports and Health at Daejeon City, stated, "Since the 0si Festival is the largest local crowd event since COVID-19, we will operate the Emergency Infectious Disease Control Situation Room until the festival concludes," adding, "We will make every effort to proactively respond to any outbreaks and ensure a safe festival."
