As a measure to prevent the spread of Corona 19, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to control access to some areas of the Han River Civic Park, such as Yeouido, Ttukseom and Banpo, where there are many crowded people. Additionally, vehicle access to all Hangang Park parking lots, including the three locations above, will be controlled during the evening hours after 9pm and all stores will be closed.
Shin Yong-mok, head of the Han River Trade Headquarters, announced in a briefing at 11 am on the 8th, “Citizen access will be controlled in some densely populated areas of Yeouido, Ttukseom and Banpo Hangang parks, where there are many users since 2 pm today (8) “. The event square and the season square in Yeouido, the surrounding square of the cultural complex of the ‘Jabug’ observatory in Ttukseom (including the lower part of the Cheongdam bridge) and the picnic areas 1 and 2 in Banpo are controlled.
As a countermeasure to prevent the spread of Corona 19, the Seoul Metropolitan Government is running the ‘Ten Million Citizens for the Week’ campaign aimed at banning eating and drinking in restaurants and convenience stores after 9 pm from August 30 to 13. of September. According to statistics from the Han River Project Headquarters, from August 31 to September 6, around 1 million citizens flocked to Hangang Park. This is an increase of around 40% over the same period last year. When eating at night in restaurants and convenience stores was prohibited, it was interpreted as a consequence of citizens not finding a suitable meeting place to set foot in Han River Park.
According to Gwangjin-gu on Day 7, it was confirmed that a Corona 19 patient residing in Dobong-gu went to GS25 Hangang Ttukseom 3 convenience store in Ttukseom Park on Day 1 at 7:25 ~ 29 pm on Day 1. For Seoul, which has reduced the number of corona patients to less than 100 for 6 consecutive days (from 7 days), the task must be done to block the possibility of Hangang Park emerging as the epicenter of a new cluster infection. . Shin Headquarters said, “With the implementation of social distancing step 2.5, a massive ban was imposed on indoor spaces, resulting in a balloon effect hurtling into Han River Park.”
Yeouido, Ttukseom and Banpo Hangang parks, which are controlled by the city of Seoul, are areas that citizens can easily access by subway, and about half of Hangang park users are concentrated there. Headquarters Shin said: “People may be crowded in other parks, but it doesn’t seem to be as serious as the three places where access is controlled.”

In addition to controlling access to the three main areas of Hangang Park, the Seoul Metropolitan Government also banned the entry of vehicles from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next day in 43 parking lots in 11 Hangang Parks and all shops (28) and cafes (7 locations) in Hangang Park. ) He also decided to close after 9pm.
As restaurants in Seoul closed after 9 p.m., citizens flocked to the Han River Civic Park and the park’s shops enjoyed an unexpected boom. For this reason, voices of discontent erupted among the self-employed who operate restaurants and cafes, as a controversy arose over administrative equity. Quarantine authorities also expressed concern that the ‘balloon effect’ could act as an obstacle to the COVID-19 quarantine.
In addition, Han River Business Headquarters plans to conduct orientation and publicity activities, such as refraining from eating and drinking after 9 pm, maintaining a distance of 2 meters between users, and wearing masks. The extent to which eating and drinking activities in Hangang Park will be reduced by these measures is still unknown. This is because citizens visiting Hangang Park are unable to crack down to bring their own food or order it through the delivery service. Director Shin also emphasized that “there is no way to prevent the delivery of food under current law” and “the voluntary cooperation of citizens is necessary.”
Although the number of Corona 19 patients in Seoul on the 7th registered 67, it is a worrying situation that the infection continues through religious facilities such as Yeongdeungpo-gu Serial Jongjeong Pokyoso (11) and Eunpyeong-gu Susaek Cathedral (2) . The death rate for the elderly 60 and older with underlying diseases is also increasing, with an additional four deaths per day.
On the other hand, according to the results of an epidemiological investigation conducted by the BF Mobile Telemarketing Call Center in Gangdong-gu, where a total of 22 patients occurred, it was found that viruses were detected on the door handles and air conditioners of the office.
Seoul Quarantine Control Officer Park Yoo-mi said: “To confirm the path of infection, we conducted 15 tests of environmental samples, including offices, bathrooms and elevators, and detected 2 viruses.” And, in addition to wearing a mask, wash your hands well. “
