[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan County, Jeonnam (Governor Kim San) announced on the 17th that it has launched an emergency comprehensive disinfection of facilities mainly used by youth, such as academies, private tutoring centers, PC rooms, and karaoke rooms, to prevent group infections caused by COVID-19.

With the postponement of elementary, middle, and high school openings, the number of youths visiting enclosed multi-use facilities such as academies, private tutoring centers, PC rooms, and karaoke rooms has increased, raising concerns about these places being vulnerable to group infections. In response, the Muan County Health Center has taken urgent measures.

Currently, there are 203 academies and private tutoring centers, 53 PC rooms, and 26 karaoke rooms in the area. The county has organized the health center’s disinfection task force, formed last month, into three teams and plans to conduct comprehensive disinfection of 282 youth multi-use facilities from the 16th to the 19th.

Governor Kim San said, “As cases of group infections in enclosed spaces have recently increased, we are putting all our efforts into disinfecting multi-use facilities to prevent COVID-19 in advance,” adding, “Although residents are going through difficult times, we will take proactive measures to ensure their safety and health.”

Earlier, to prevent COVID-19, the county distributed hand sanitizers and disinfectant solutions to 203 academies and private tutoring centers, and hand sanitizers and spray disinfectants to 206 cultural facilities such as PC rooms and karaoke rooms.
