Uiwang City Korail Talent Development Center Temporary Quarantine Facility Concludes Operations on the 24th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Suji] Uiwang City announced that it has concluded operations of the temporary quarantine facility at Korail Talent Development Center, which has been accommodating returning travelers from abroad to prevent the spread of COVID-19, on the 24th.

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

A total of 120 individuals have been admitted to the facility during this period, and with the discharge of 4 people on the 24th marking the final departures, withdrawal procedures are now underway.

At the Korail Talent Development Center, a government joint operations support team composed of 7 divisions including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Health and Welfare has been stationed on-site, working diligently to support returning travelers through admission and discharge management, testing, quarantine and disinfection, and meal delivery services.

The support team will sequentially conclude its dispatch operations starting after the 24th, with plans to complete withdrawal procedures by the 29th after finalizing facility quarantine and administrative matters.

Meanwhile, the city has strengthened facility management by utilizing large vehicles for admission and discharge to prevent contact between admitted individuals and local residents, and has enhanced quarantine and disinfection of surrounding areas.
