Thermal Imaging Camera Installed... Jangan-gu Focuses on COVID-19 Response

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] To respond to COVID-19, Jangan-gu has decided to close all entrances to the district office except the main gate and to install a thermal imaging camera in the first-floor lobby. The installation is scheduled for the 21st.

The thermal imaging camera measures and reports the body temperature of people passing in front of it.

In addition, to prevent COVID-19 infection, the district is conducting frequent disinfection of door handles, railings, elevator buttons, and civil affairs chairs within the building. Staff working in the civil affairs office have been instructed to wear masks while on duty. Promotional materials on COVID-19 prevention guidelines have been placed at the civil affairs office and the first-floor information desk to provide guidance.

A district official said, "We plan to have individuals showing abnormal signs through the thermal imaging camera receive treatment at a screening clinic," and added, "We ask for the active cooperation of residents."
