Kwonseon District Conducts Direct Disinfection of Neighborhood and Children's Parks

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Kwonseon District has been conducting disinfection of neighborhood parks and children's parks since the 28th of last month to prevent COVID-19.

Previously, the disinfection of public restrooms in parks was carried out by the Kwonseon District Health Center. However, as confirmed cases surged recently and quarantine and disinfection work at the health center increased dramatically, the district decided to implement its own disinfection operations.

Disinfection efforts focus not only on public restrooms but also intensively on benches, seating areas, exercise equipment, and play facilities frequently used by residents. For public restrooms, the interior is to be disinfected at least once every two days, with particular attention to door handles disinfected at least once daily. Other outdoor park facilities are planned to be disinfected at least once a week.

Sanitation staff who frequently come into contact with residents have been provided with masks since the 3rd of last month and are required to wear them during work. Additionally, hand sanitizers are placed in public restrooms as the district makes every effort to prevent and contain the spread of infection.

Ki Young-bae, chief of Kwonseon District, said, "We plan to conduct regular disinfection until the current situation ends to prevent further spread of COVID-19. We will make every effort to manage facilities thoroughly and protect the safety of park users and children."
