[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gi-woon] On the 30th, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced that it will take proactive preemptive measures targeting food and public hygiene establishments to prevent the novel coronavirus.

To prevent the novel coronavirus infection, the county is making every effort to operate the region as a safe management area for food and public hygiene establishments by sending promotional materials on infectious disease prevention rules and providing hand sanitizers to 558 food service establishments (general, rest, bakeries, etc.) and 68 public hygiene establishments (lodging businesses) within the jurisdiction.

To prevent coronavirus infection, efforts are focused on sending text messages emphasizing ▲ washing hands thoroughly including palms and nails ▲ covering coughs with sleeves ▲ wearing masks when visiting medical institutions if experiencing respiratory symptoms such as coughing ▲ informing medical staff of overseas travel history when visiting medical institutions.

Additionally, prior measures have been taken so that large lodging establishments in the area can immediately notify the Sinan-gun hygiene management department if Chinese guests stay.

A representative from the Sinan-gun Taste Arts and Culture Division stated, “Until the novel coronavirus situation is resolved, we will respond by thoroughly preventing and promoting safety in food and public hygiene establishments closely related to residents and tourists so that they can use safe restaurants and public hygiene facilities.”

Meanwhile, on the 28th, Sinan-gun postponed the scheduled ‘Dialogue with Residents’ entirely to prevent the novel coronavirus and completely suspended the winter flower (Baby Camellia) festival.
