Pohang City has arranged a meeting to discuss cooperation measures for checking local livelihood issues and ensuring citizen safety with heads of local institutions and organizations in celebration of the Chuseok holiday.

Pohang City held a breakfast meeting on the 2nd to review urgent public issues in preparation for the Chuseok holiday.

On the 2nd, the city held a breakfast meeting inviting local institution and organization leaders to prepare for disaster situations such as emergency medical care during the holiday and inspections of vulnerable facilities, focusing on quarantine measures in response to the recent resurgence of COVID-19.

The meeting was attended by Mayor Lee Kangdeok, City Council Chair Kim Ilman, and about 20 representatives from local public and medical institutions. They shared current local issues and agreed to cooperate to ensure that citizens can enjoy a safe and comfortable holiday.

In particular, participants exchanged opinions on quarantine measures in response to the recent COVID-19 resurgence and discussed ways to preemptively manage facilities vulnerable to infection to block large-scale outbreaks in advance, as well as establish an emergency medical system during the holiday period.

Additionally, they agreed to prevent safety accidents through pre-inspections of aging apartment complexes and multi-use facilities, and to proactively respond to and take swift action against incidents and accidents that may occur during the holiday period due to natural disasters such as heavy rain and strong winds.

Mayor Lee Kangdeok emphasized, "As citizens' concerns have increased due to emergency room bed shortages caused by recent conflicts in the medical community and incidents such as electric vehicle and multi-use facility fires, please pay special attention to safety." He also requested, "I ask all institutions and organizations to do their best so that returning visitors and citizens spending Chuseok in Pohang can enjoy a safe and happy holiday without any gaps in medical service."
