Jungjingong Honam Training Institute

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] The Small and Medium Business Corporation announced on the 2nd that it will provide the dormitory facilities of the Honam Training Center located in Gwangju Metropolitan City as quarantine facilities for asymptomatic domestic individuals entering from overseas who are infected with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The quarantine facilities at the Honam Training Center have been in operation since the 1st. Asymptomatic individuals arriving from the United States and Europe are subject to mandatory quarantine for three days. Afterward, if the infection test results are 'positive,' they are classified as confirmed cases and receive isolation treatment in nationally designated infectious disease hospital beds. If the results are 'negative,' they are discharged but must continue self-quarantine for 14 days.

The quarantine facilities at the Honam Training Center are managed overall by Gwangju City, and about 30 personnel including medical staff, firefighters, administrative, and quarantine teams will closely support the residents.

Previously, the Small and Medium Business Corporation opened the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Training Center in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, and the Small and Medium Business Training Center in Ansan, Gyeonggi, as living treatment centers and is currently operating them.

Jo Jeong-gwon, Acting Chairman of the Small and Medium Business Corporation, said, "As overseas-imported cases among new COVID-19 confirmed patients have been reported, quarantine facilities for overseas entrants are necessary. We will open the Honam Training Center to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community and actively cooperate with the government and local governments for crisis overcoming and early normalization."
