Suwon to Inspect Door-to-Door Sales Businesses to Prevent Cluster Infections

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon City has launched efforts to prevent cluster infections by conducting a comprehensive survey of door-to-door sales businesses within the city and carrying out on-site inspections until the COVID-19 situation ends.

Starting with a comprehensive survey of all registered door-to-door sales businesses in the city on the 8th, the city will focus on inspecting illegal businesses and require immediate corrective measures for those found to be operating illegally.

The city will continuously conduct on-site monitoring of door-to-door sales businesses and designate a 'quarantine safety management officer' for each business location to oversee management.

The city also plans to provide all door-to-door sales businesses with 'detailed guidelines for daily quarantine in direct (face-to-face) sales sectors.' Currently, there are 337 door-to-door sales businesses registered in the city.

Of these, businesses with 1-3 employees accounted for 73.3%, those with 4-10 employees 14.2%, those with 10-20 employees 6.8%, and those with over 20 employees 5.6%.

A city official stated, "Door-to-door sales primarily operate through face-to-face contact and are vulnerable to infectious diseases. We will continue on-site inspections and manage them thoroughly to protect salespeople and consumers."
