Pyeongtaek City Operates Visitor Reception Room at City Hall for Disease Prevention

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] As of September 4, Pyeongtaek City announced on September 7 that it has been operating the main building's second-floor conference room as a visitor reception room for city hall visitors to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

This is for the safety of residents and public officials. After temperature checks at the entrance of the civil affairs office and the city hall entrance, visitors are classified by purpose of visit. Those visiting the General Civil Affairs Office, Tax Service Division, Collection Division, and agricultural cooperatives—which are open spaces—may enter directly, while all other department visitors must use the reception room.

In the reception room, residents consult with responsible officials through prior appointments. If no prior appointment has been made, the reception desk connects residents with the responsible official for consultation.

Additionally, deliveries such as packages entering the city hall building are managed through the visitor reception room, with staff members picking them up.

A city official stated, "The operation of the visitor reception room is a measure for the safety and prevention of everyone amid the serious and ongoing COVID-19 crisis. We appreciate the active cooperation and understanding of citizens."
