[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Kim San, the mayor of Muan County, announced on the 11th that as the proportion of domestic COVID-19 confirmed cases in cluster outbreaks soared to the 70% range, he has been meeting with officials of facilities at risk of cluster infections such as religious facilities and PC rooms to request restraint in holding group worship services, thereby working to prevent regional spread and protect county residents.

Since the 16th of last month, the county has suspended the operation of cultural, sports, and tourism facilities it manages, sent official letters requesting the cancellation of religious gatherings, and posted statements. On the 27th of last month, a meeting with religious leaders was held to request restraint in gatherings.

Additionally, starting from the 10th, Mayor Kim San personally visited about 10 large churches in the area to meet with officials and ask for active cooperation in preventing COVID-19.

Mayor Kim San said, “So far, there have been no COVID-19 infections in our region, but we will not let our guard down and will do our best to respond until the end to protect the safety of our residents and keep Muan clean.” He added, “We thank the residents who have actively cooperated.”

Meanwhile, Muan County has strengthened inspections not only of religious facilities but also of multi-use facilities such as PC rooms, karaoke rooms, and game rooms. Public officials visit sites to spread COVID-19 response guidelines and distribute hand sanitizers, making every effort to prevent the spread.
