  • Seoul Completes Introduction of QR Attendance System for Logistics Facilities

  • Transportation News SMG 12,706

    Seoul has completed the introduction of a “digital attendance tracking system” for all logistics facilities registered in Seoul (a total of 53), including logistics centers and warehouses. Employees who work at logistics facilities must have their attendance checked using a QR code before they start working. The logistics centers are now checking the symptoms of their employees more than once a day and disinfecting shared items like work uniforms and shoes at least once a day. All employees must wear a mask while working. The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it began strictly managing the disinfection of delivered packages by controlling all the logistics facilities as “high-risk facilities” during the COVID-19 pandemic. ※ Disinfection and Prevention Rules for High-risk Facilities
