Uiwang City's Korail Human Resources Development Center Temporary Quarantine Facility Operations End on the 24th

[Suwon Ilbo=Kim Su-ji] Uiwang City announced that it has ended operations of the temporary quarantine facility at the Korail Human Resources Development Center, which has been housing overseas arrivals to prevent the spread of COVID-19, on the 24th.

The Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters designated and operated the Korail Human Resources Development Center as a temporary quarantine facility from the 22nd of last month, but operations have been terminated due to a declining number of overseas arrivals and the opening of new temporary facilities.

A total of 120 people were admitted to the facility, and with 4 people being discharged on the 24th, the withdrawal procedures are underway.

A government joint operation support team composed of 7 divisions including the Ministry of Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Health and Welfare has been stationed at the Korail Human Resources Development Center, working to support overseas arrivals through admission and discharge management, testing, disinfection, and meal delivery.

The support team will sequentially end its dispatch from the 24th onward, and plans to complete facility disinfection, administrative procedures, and withdrawal by the 29th.

Meanwhile, the city has utilized large vehicles for admissions and discharges to prevent contact between facility residents and local residents, and has strengthened disinfection of surrounding areas, ensuring full attention to facility management.
