[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 10th that the 'Infectious Disease Prevention and Management Ordinance Bill' has been submitted to the 284th extraordinary session and, after the plenary session on the 13th, if promulgated, infectious disease response can be handled promptly.

The ordinance bill, jointly proposed by Choi Mi-sook, a member of the Administrative Welfare Committee of Sinan County Council, stipulates the mayor's responsibility for actively promoting projects to prevent and stop the spread of infectious diseases harmful to the health of county residents, the establishment of implementation plans related to infectious disease prevention, and the obligation to report infectious disease patients.

Additionally, it reflects the stockpiling and management of quarantine supplies in preparation for infectious diseases, so that shortages of masks and quarantine supplies can be anticipated in advance when an infectious disease occurs.

Once the ordinance is enacted, the county plans to promptly promulgate it and prioritize the free supply of masks and quarantine supplies starting with residents of small islands without public mask sales outlets.

Park Woo-ryang, Governor of Sinan County, stated, "The prompt proposal and processing of this ordinance bill is a good example showing that the Sinan County Council is actively working together with the residents," and added, "We will concentrate all administrative power to prevent COVID-19."

Meanwhile, the county is operating a Disaster Safety Countermeasures Headquarters and is making every effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community through screening clinics, mask supply task forces, quarantine activities, and the installation of thermal imaging cameras.
