[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on the 23rd that starting from the 22nd, Chil-san Tower and the Seafood Sales Center will be temporarily closed until the virus is eradicated to prevent COVID-19 infection and protect residents.


This measure is a preemptive step to prevent the spread of infection to the neighboring county after a man in his 40s, who had recently returned from living in the Czech Republic, Europe, and was staying in Muan-gun, was confirmed positive for the coronavirus on the 21st.


The county has been conducting daily disinfection inside Chil-san Tower, measuring visitors' temperatures, providing hand sanitizers, and enforcing mandatory mask-wearing to prevent infection.


Additionally, due to the opening of Chil-san Bridge, which is located just 5 minutes from Muan-gun and has a high possibility of transmission, the decision was made to suspend operations.



Governor Kim Jun-seong said, “Although the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is decreasing nationwide recently, nothing is more important than the safety of our residents,” and added, “We will do our best to prevent COVID-19.”
