This is the’Hope Support Center’, a facility for the homeless run by the city of Seoul.

Five people, including two workers and three homeless people, have been confirmed since the 17th at this facility in Seoul Station Plaza.

Most of the center workers are unable to work due to a large number of close contacts, and one confirmed homeless person is confirmed as a participant in the Seoul Station emergency shelter job, and the center will be suspended for the time being.

The Seoul Station Hope Support Center is a facility used by an unspecified number of people, providing emergency sleep to about 70 homeless people a day on average.

The city of Seoul has decided to check closely contacted persons through the user list and CCTV records, and to actively guide the corona 19 test to homeless people in the Seoul Station area.

The number of confirmed cases per day in Seoul has gradually decreased to less than 150 in the last 10 days, but sporadic group infections such as hospitals, workplaces and saunas are continuing.

The quarantine authorities said that there are many cases of spreading to facilities such as workplaces through the spread of family and acquaintances, and urged them to thoroughly wear masks and distance from people close to them.
