[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo County, Jeollanam-do is making every effort to prevent the spread of ‘COVID-19’ and to implement preemptive measures such as community quarantine and blocking.

According to Jindo County on the 25th, in preparation for the spread of COVID-19, the patient monitoring system has been strengthened, and continuous publicity is being conducted through village broadcasts, electronic display boards, and text messages regarding hygiene and safety rules for prevention.

Since the 24th, two thermal imaging cameras have been installed at Jindo Rest Area, the entrance to Jindo County, to conduct fever checks on all vehicle passengers.

A quarantine task force was formed to frequently disinfect multi-use facilities such as Jogeum-ri 5-day Market, senior centers, schools, kindergartens, and terminals.

Additionally, 3,000 hand sanitizers, 35,000 masks, and 1,800 disinfectants have been distributed to daycare centers, senior welfare centers, hospitals and clinics, and terminals.

To maintain a 24-hour response system, the disinfection team was expanded and operated into nine teams, conducting intensive disinfection of vulnerable and multi-use facilities from the 21st to the 23rd.

Jindo County, which operates screening clinics at Jindo Korean Hospital and the public health center, plans to invest an additional 150 million KRW budget to distribute more hand sanitizers, masks, and disinfectants.

Also, from the 25th until the end of the ‘COVID-19’ situation, the operation of Jindo Indoor Swimming Pool and public libraries has been temporarily suspended.

A Jindo County public health center official said, “For the safety and health of individuals, families, and neighbors, we ask that people comply with personal hygiene rules such as wearing masks and washing hands, and refrain from visiting group facilities and multi-use places for the time being,” adding, “We will do our best to block the spread of ‘COVID-19’ infection in the community through continuous publicity and thorough quarantine work.”
