Yongin City Takes Proactive Approach...Issues Quarantine Release Certificates via Homepage

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun] Yongin City will issue 'COVID-19 Quarantine Release Certificates' through the city's homepage.

According to Yongin City on the 26th, the system has been introduced in preparation for an increase in overseas travelers following the adjustment of COVID-19's infectious disease classification (Class 1 to Class 2).

The quarantine release certificate is a document submitted to destination countries by people with a history of COVID-19 confirmed infection when traveling abroad. Until now, it could only be requested through direct visits to health centers or over the phone.

With the city's proactive system implementation, citizens wishing to obtain the release certificate can access the city's homepage, verify their identity through the PCR test and quarantine notice verification banner, and then use the 'Release Certificate Application·Inquiry' menu to obtain it.

Those registered in the city's COVID-19 confirmed case management system will receive the release certificate via text message immediately upon application and can also print it through the homepage's release certificate inquiry service.

A city official said, "With an expected increase in overseas travelers during the summer season, we proactively implemented the system to minimize citizen inconvenience," adding, "The system implementation will significantly help reduce the excessive workload of health center staff who have been struggling with COVID-19-related tasks."
