Gurye-gun Operates Fever Screening Stations at Major Tourist Spots Amid Spring Visitor Surge

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Mi-seok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, recently officially canceled various events including the 21st Sansuyu Flower Festival due to the spread of COVID-19, but visitors are still coming following the blooming of the Sansuyu flowers, prompting active efforts to prevent COVID-19.

On the 10th, Gurye-gun installed checkpoint fever screening stations at two major tourist spots frequently visited by tourists to prevent the local influx of COVID-19.

Fever screening stations operate at Tapdong Village in Sandong-myeon, the entrance to the Sansuyu cluster, and at Cheongmagwan in Masan-myeon, the access point to Hwaeomsa Temple, to check the body temperature of vehicle occupants.

The fever screening stations are operated with the cooperation of the 7th Battalion of the military unit within Gurye-gun to ensure smooth vehicle flow.

In addition to the fever screening stations, Gurye-gun has installed thermal imaging cameras at the public bus terminal, Gurye Station, Gurye County Office, and Gurye Hospital to monitor for fever as part of COVID-19 prevention measures.

Kim Soon-ho, the governor of Gurye-gun, said, “Although the Sansuyu Flower Festival was canceled, many visitors are still coming to Gurye. We ask residents and tourists to actively cooperate with the fever screening to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
