[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan County, Jeonnam (Governor Kim San) announced on the 17th that it will expand the closure days of the county office cafeteria to share the pain of the local commercial district and small business owners, which have been shrinking due to the cancellation of various events and gatherings amid concerns over the spread of 'COVID-19'.

The county office cafeteria is usually used by about 300 employees, and the current twice-a-month closure (first and third Friday) will be expanded to twice a week (every Wednesday and Friday) until mid-March.

It is expected that the expanded closure of the cafeteria will help small local restaurants facing difficulties. Along with this, the county plans to mobilize all administrative power to revitalize the local commercial district by promoting public officials' traditional market shopping campaigns, using welfare points at local stores, and prioritizing purchases from local companies when buying various goods.

Governor Kim San said, "Due to concerns over the spread of 'COVID-19', consumer sentiment has weakened, and local small business owners are experiencing difficulties. At times like this, public officials will share the pain with local residents and strive to help the local economy recover quickly."
