Yeonggwang-gun Temporarily Closes Indoor Swimming Pools Until the 29th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 7th that the indoor swimming pool will be closed from the 7th to the 29th to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection and ensure the safety of residents.

This measure is to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in the local community as the government’s infectious disease crisis alert level for the novel coronavirus infection has been raised from ‘Caution’ to ‘Warning’ and the infectious disease has spread to neighboring local governments.

Due to the nature of the facility, many users do not wear masks in the swimming pool, and there is a risk of virus transmission through saliva or droplets.

Until now, the county has provided hand sanitizers inside the swimming pool and conducted disinfection and quarantine to prevent the novel coronavirus infection, but it has decided to close the swimming pool to more reliably ensure the safety of residents.

During the closure period, tasks that are difficult to perform during the swimming pool operation period, such as cleaning the swimming pool and water tanks and tile grout work, which were planned for later, will be advanced to minimize the impact on the operation of the indoor swimming pool.

Governor Kim Junsung said, “The safety of residents is the top priority,” and added, “We will do our best to prevent the novel coronavirus infection.”
