[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will resume operations of most public facilities from the 17th, except for some that had been closed due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 16th, Suwon City announced that it decided to resume operations, judging that the spread of COVID-19 has entered a "calm phase."

but each center can decide whether to resume operations individually. Also, the Suwon Museum Children's Experience Room, Gwanggyo Museum Children's Experience Room, and Suwon City Workers' Comprehensive Welfare Center will remain closed until the 29th.

Most resident autonomy center programs will also operate normally except for 12 districts. The 12 districts of Yulcheon, Jeongja 1, Jeongja 3, Yeonghwa, Songjuk, Jowon 1, Jowon 2, Yeonmu, Gwonsun 1, Gokseon, Mangpo 1, and Mangpo 2 will resume operations from the 2nd of next month.
