□ KCDC noted that COVID-19 transmissions are occurring mainly through religious activities such as small group meetings and church retreat. KCDC advised people to take particular precautions during the weekend.
○ In particular, since religious gatherings tend to involve a crowded environment where conversations, singing, and eating take place, making it vulnerable to droplet-induced transmission, non-face-to-face methods are encouraged and canceling or postponing small group meetings is recommended.
- If on-site worship service is held, such facilities need to reduce the number of participants to ensure that participants keep proper distance from each other, check participants for fever and other symptoms, ensure hand washing and mask wearing, and make sure not to provide meals or engage in activities that release respiratory droplets in the air (such as singing, chanting, and shouting).
□ KCDC emphasized the importance of environmental disinfection to prevent COVID-19 transmission. Since COVID-19 virus can survive on the surface of an object for a certain period of time, environmental disinfection is important to stop transmission.
○ However, spraying disinfectant is not recommended since the effect of disinfection can be reduced. It can also cause unexpected health problems if sprayed disinfectant is inhaled through nose or mouth. For the same reason and possible environmental problems, spraying disinfectant on the roads should be refrained as well.
○ A proper way to disinfect environment is as follows:
|
1) Preparation before disinfection - (Personal protective equipment) Wear water-proof gloves and masks - (Disinfectant) Get proper disinfectant authorized or registered by Ministry of Environment (Hypochlorite can be used for household or publicly used places (1L of water + 20mL of 5% concentration Hypochlorite) - (Ventilation and cleaning) Ensure adequate ventilation and clean the space before starting disinfection 2) During disinfection - (Surface disinfection) Wipe the frequently used surface(door knop, armrest, outlet, light switch, etc.) with a towel soaked in disinfectant. Leave it for a while and wipe it again with a wet towel. - (Bathroom disinfection) Go through the same process in the bathroom for a door knob, faucet, toilet cover, and bath tub. - (Ventilation) Make sure to ventilate adequately afterwards 3) After disinfection |
