[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City Mayor Kim Sang-don has issued directives on measures to respond to the novel coronavirus, which is rapidly spreading both domestically and internationally.

The city decided to update information and measures related to the novel coronavirus twice daily on the city website and social media to alleviate citizens' concerns and anxiety.

The mayor emphasized the wearing of masks by civil service employees at citizen service centers, community centers, and health centers where there is frequent public contact, to prevent the unfortunate occurrence of employee infection being transmitted to citizens.

Events where large numbers of people gather have been ordered to be canceled or postponed, and disinfection has been carried out at public institutions such as social welfare centers and community autonomous centers. Employees were urged to take particular care to refrain from spreading citizens' personal information, unconfirmed matters, or fake news on social media.

Mayor Kim Sang-don stated, "I hope that all employees will make greater efforts to conduct responsible administration that citizens can trust and have confidence in regarding preventive measures and public information. As this is a very important matter being addressed across all government levels, I hope employees will pay special attention to their words and conduct and actively participate in establishing public service discipline."
