[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do is conducting comprehensive inspections to prevent the local spread of COVID-19 and is striving to maintain a clean area.

According to Jindo-gun on the 9th, for the safety and health of residents, the closure of tourist sites and multi-use facilities, originally scheduled until the 9th, has been extended until the 23rd, and disinfection of facilities is being carried out frequently.

In addition, public transportation is disinfected twice daily on a regular basis, and disinfectants are being distributed at the bus terminal to do its best in quarantine efforts.

Along with this, to minimize welfare gaps for socially vulnerable groups, meal supply situations at facilities for the disabled, elderly facilities, and senior centers are being checked and inspected through on-site visits.

Due to the postponement of school and kindergarten openings, emergency care situations at educational institutions are being inspected, and inspection teams are being deployed to game-related businesses (PC rooms) and karaoke practice rooms where many students gather, distributing preventive supplies and focusing on safety rule education.

In particular, blind spots in management such as foreign workers’ residences, workplaces, and facilities are being inspected on-site together with employers, and administrative efforts are concentrated on managing external workers at major construction sites.

Also, fever checks previously conducted at Jindo Bridge, the gateway to Jindo, are being expanded by installing additional thermal imaging cameras at Jindo-gun Office and Jodo Changyu Port to operate more fever screening stations.

A Jindo-gun official stated, “We will do our best to ensure that no confirmed cases occur in Jindo-gun until the COVID-19 situation is resolved.”

Meanwhile, starting from the 9th, when the 5-day mask distribution system is fully implemented, Jindo-gun is providing guidance through text messages and village broadcasting systems to minimize inconvenience and confusion among residents, and is organizing and operating support personnel for pharmacies and inspection teams.
