Osan City Operates 'Secure Call' Access Control System at City Hall and 40 Other Facilities

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Since February 2nd, Osan City has been operating the 'Secure Call access control system' at 40 locations including Osan City Hall and six administrative welfare centers.

The Secure Call access control system assigns a six-digit number starting with 14 (140000). When calling this number, the entry time is automatically recorded and authenticated. Each facility's number can be checked through banners and notice boards within the facility. There is no call charge.

When individuals call the designated phone number from their personal mobile phone, they receive a voice message saying "Confirmed" and a text message. Stored personal information is automatically deleted after four weeks of storage. This is expected to help strengthen COVID-19 quarantine management by preventing personal information leakage and the submission of false information.

Most notably, it prevents concerns about personal information leakage caused by handwritten visitor logs and provides convenience for digitally vulnerable groups who have difficulty using QR codes to enter facilities.

A city official stated, "We will enhance citizen convenience and utilize it for epidemiological investigations when confirmed cases occur."
