The main contents include ▲status of confirmed cases, self-quarantined individuals, specimen tests, and disinfection ▲daily status of distribution of protective supplies including masks ▲support measures such as support for small business owners, job provision, and revitalization of the local economy, lasting about 10 to 15 minutes, and can be checked daily on the website (www.gangnam.go.kr) and YouTube (www.youtube.com).

Jeong Soon-gyun, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, said, “The number of confirmed cases among overseas entrants is increasing, and almost all self-quarantine subjects are people who have come from abroad,” adding, “Given Gangnam-gu’s characteristics with many overseas visitors and international students, how our district prevents local spread will be key to the early containment of COVID-19.”
