[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 9th that it will urgently support 1,690 hand sanitizers and 4,710 hygiene masks to food service businesses and public hygiene establishments to prevent the spread of COVID-19.


The county canceled plans for advanced site visits to improve the food culture of exemplary restaurants and is focusing all efforts on COVID-19 prevention activities by providing hygiene supplies to 483 collective catering facilities and food service businesses, as well as 141 public hygiene establishments such as lodging, beauty salons, and laundries, which are experiencing economic difficulties due to the COVID-19 situation.


As tourists continue to visit despite the COVID-19 situation, the county encourages restaurants and lodging businesses to disinfect once a day, and plans to conduct on-site inspections for businesses required to disinfect.


Prior to this, Sinan-gun has been distributing masks to vulnerable groups having difficulty securing masks through eup/myeon offices, and is also supplying masks to residents of small (remote) islands far from eup/myeon locations through village officials and community leaders, focusing all efforts on the safety of county residents.



A Sinan-gun official stated, “We recognize that this COVID-19 situation is a difficult time for self-employed people, and above all, the safety of residents and tourists is a priority,” adding, “We expect that this support of hygiene supplies will contribute to raising hygiene awareness among business owners and workers and establishing a safe food culture.”
