Yeonggwang-gun, COVID-19 Serious Phase... Temporary Allowance for Single-Use Items Usage

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on the 27th that, following the elevation of the COVID-19 crisis alert level to 'Severe,' it has decided to temporarily allow the use of disposable items inside food service establishments in the jurisdiction starting from the 26th.

The temporary allowance period will last until the COVID-19 crisis alert level is downgraded to 'Caution,' and applies to general restaurants, cafes and fast food outlets, bakeries, and similar establishments within the jurisdiction.

The permitted items include disposable cups, spoons, plates, and chopsticks, and these may be provided only when thorough disinfection and cleaning are difficult due to high customer volume or upon direct customer request.

A county official stated, "Through this temporary allowance, we expect to alleviate residents' anxiety and somewhat help revitalize the local economy, which is deteriorating due to shrinking consumer sentiment."
