Suwon City Urges Homeless People on Streets to Follow Quarantine Guidelines

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City conducted a quarantine guideline compliance campaign on the 8th targeting homeless people using free meal services at Suwon Station Plaza.

About 10 people, including Kim Jae-seop, director of the City's Social Welfare Division, city officials, staff from the Suwon Restart Comprehensive Support Center for Homeless People, and religious organization representatives, measured body temperatures of homeless people waiting to receive free meals and requested compliance with quarantine guidelines such as mask-wearing and social distancing.

The city plans to continue guidance activities in cooperation with related departments and the homeless comprehensive support center until the 'social distancing' phase 2.5 is eased to prevent infection among street homeless people.

Director Kim Jae-seop of the Social Welfare Division said, "To protect the safety of us all, I hope homeless people will strictly adhere to quarantine guidelines such as 'social distancing,' mask-wearing, and hand hygiene," and added, "We are grateful to volunteer groups providing free meal services even in these difficult times due to COVID-19."

Currently, five volunteer groups including Gwangya 119 and Han-beot Church are providing free meals to homeless people every morning and evening at Suwon Station Plaza.
