[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that starting from the 2nd, it has implemented access control measures at the county office to block the community spread of the rapidly spreading nationwide ‘COVID-19’ and to alleviate residents' anxiety.

The county has sealed off all entrances to the office building to ensure that all public officials and visitors pass through thermal cameras, restricting access routes to only two entrances: the first-floor main entrance and the Comprehensive Civil Service Office entrance.

Accordingly, visitors can enter the departments inside the office only after passing through the thermal cameras installed at the county office main entrance and the Comprehensive Civil Service Office entrance.

Additionally, hand sanitizers and disinfectant footpads have been installed throughout the county office building, making strenuous efforts to block all sources of infection.

A Wando-gun official stated, “We anticipate inconvenience for civil petitioners and external visitors to the office, but this is a strict countermeasure to protect the clean environment of Wando,” adding, “We ask for the understanding and cooperation of all residents until the ‘COVID-19’ situation is resolved.”

Meanwhile, even before confirmed cases among Shincheonji Church members in Daegu occurred, Wando-gun has been proactively responding in cooperation with Jeju Island, operating thermal detection cameras at Wando Port Passenger Terminal, as well as at the public bus terminal and Hwahungpo Port.

Since the 29th of last month, as an additional measure, thermal detection cameras and sensors have been installed at all entry points into Wando-gun, including Wando Bridge, Gogeum Bridge, Yaksan Dangmok Port, Geumdang Gahak Port, and Haenam Ttangkkeut Port, concentrating all administrative power to fundamentally block the inflow of ‘COVID-19’ into Wando.
