[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] Busan Facilities Corporation has decided to restrict the use of its facilities such as Yeongnak Park, Hanmaeum Sports Center, and Duribal to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The corporation held an emergency countermeasure meeting at its headquarters on the afternoon of the 23rd and made this decision following the activation of the COVID-19 'serious' alert level.

In the case of Yeongnak Park, only spouses and direct family members are allowed to enter during funerals. Visitors to the funeral hall are permitted to pay their respects only if they have a kinship relationship with the deceased. Additionally, visitors paying respects are required to fill out a condolence list recording their residential area and contact information.

Users of Duribal are advised to refrain from using the facility except in unavoidable cases, and hand sanitization is mandatory when using it. Refusal of boarding will also be enforced if masks are not worn.

The Hanmaeum Sports Center will temporarily close from the 24th until the end of March, and Busan Citizens Park, Pororo Library, and the Children's Cinema will also temporarily close.

Choo Yeonggil, Director of Busan Facilities Corporation, requested, “All business sites should establish a close cooperative system with Busan City and focus all efforts on citizen safety.”
