Before conducting the survey, surveyors will adhere to basic COVID-19 prevention principles, check participants' health status such as body temperature, wear disposable masks, sanitize hands, and strictly follow COVID-19 safety guidelines throughout the process.

Yoon Jeong-hee, head of the Public Health Center, said, "Since the Community Health Survey is necessary to provide better health care services to the residents, we ask the selected residents for active participation and cooperation."
