The Ministry of Public Administration and Security announced on the 7th that to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), it has decided to take full action, such as expanding the number of local governments’ living treatment centers and early support for special grant taxes.
First of all, in addition to the current 59 life treatment centers operated by local governments to accommodate asymptomatic and mild patients, 20 additional reserve facilities that can be mobilized in case of emergency have been secured.
As a result, the number of people admitted to the municipal life treatment center, which is currently 10,486, will increase by 6,244.
The number of patients admitted to the national municipal life treatment center was 4,65 as of the last 6 days. The overall admission rate is not as high as 38.8%, but some areas have risen to 87%, so the Ministry of the Interior and Safety explained that the reserve facilities were secured to reduce it to 70% or less.
A special issuance tax will be provided early in the month to local governments, etc. that operate a temporary screening laboratory to find’hidden infected people’.
It is planned to advance the timing of issuance of special exchange tax, which is usually after March, so that local governments can flexibly operate temporary screening inspection centers and manage confirmed cases according to local conditions.
A support plan has also been prepared so that local governments can carry out the corona19 vaccination starting next month without disruption.
It supports the organization and staffing of public health centers and vaccination centers, and provides vaccination guidance services.
In particular, through the’National Secretariat’, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based administrative information service that will start operation sooner or later, it guides whether or not to receive vaccination, when to receive vaccination, how to make a reservation, and what to do before and after vaccination.
In addition, to cope with the cold weather of employment and consumption contraction, out of 15 trillion won worth of local love gift certificates scheduled to be issued this year, 4.5 trillion won will be issued within the first quarter and sold at a 10% discount.
In addition, it plans to accelerate the progress of local job projects by completing recruitment of 8,620 people participating in the’Regional Defense Job Project’, which provides life protection jobs to the vulnerable, by next month.
Minister of Public Administration and Security Jeon Hae-cheol said, “We will play a more active role in the entire response process such as inspection, tracking, and treatment so that we can overcome Corona 19 early and restore daily life as soon as possible.”
