Suwon Fortress Site Management Office and Ecological Landscaping Association Cooperate on Disinfection at Hwaseong Fortress

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Starting from March 11, the Suwon Fortress Site Management Office will join hands with the Ecological Landscaping Association, a civic organization, to protect the safety of citizens visiting Hwaseong Fortress and prevent the spread of COVID-19 through disinfection operations.

The Ecological Landscaping Association will disinfect 13 public restrooms around Hwaseong Fortress, including the restroom at Hwaseong Haenggung Palace and the restroom next to the Hwaseong Haenggung Palace Art Museum, every Wednesday until the COVID-19 situation is brought under control.

The initiative was realized after the Ecological Landscaping Association, a civic organization, expressed its desire to contribute to preventing the spread of COVID-19.

As a result, disinfection operations conducted by existing pest control contractors and the Suwon City Health Center have increased from once per week to twice per week.

To enhance expertise in disinfectant management and other areas, employees from Namwoo Construction Co., Ltd., a specialized disinfection company among member companies of the Ecological Landscaping Association, participated to increase safety in the disinfection process.

At the first disinfection operation held at 10:30 a.m. on March 11 at the restroom next to the Hwaseong Haenggung Palace Art Museum in Paldal-gu, participants included Kwon Chan-ho, the Paldal-gu Office Chief; Choi Joon-ho, the Hwaseong Site Manager; and Park Ki-un, the Chairman of the Ecological Landscaping Association, along with association members.
