Hampyeong-gun Joins 'High-Intensity Social Distancing'

COVID-19 Response Level Further Strengthened

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Acting Governor Na Yunsu) has decided to further strengthen its response to COVID-19 in accordance with the government's plan to extend the high-intensity 'social distancing' announced on the 4th for two more weeks until the 19th.

According to Hampyeong-gun on the 6th, Acting Governor Na Yunsu explained the government's recent measures in a COVID-19 countermeasure meeting attended by all department heads, citing continuous overseas inflow of infectious diseases and sporadic community infections, and ordered a strengthened preemptive response at the county level.

Accordingly, the county will extend the operation restriction measures until the 19th for 101 local facilities with a high risk of group infections, such as religious facilities and entertainment establishments.

If operation is unavoidable, preventive rules set by health authorities, such as maintaining a distance of more than 2 meters and wearing masks, must be strictly followed, and administrative orders such as prohibition of gatherings and claims for compensation will be immediately enforced if not complied with.

Field inspections to check compliance with quarantine measures at these facilities will also be conducted regularly at least twice a week.

In particular, regarding the recent repeated unauthorized departures of COVID-19 self-quarantine subjects, intensive crackdowns will be conducted in cooperation with the county police station, and a resident reporting system will also be operated.

Additionally, due to increased movement caused by warm temperatures, emergency duty officials will be deployed at places such as Dolmeori Beach to expand infectious disease prevention activities, including temperature checks.

Acting Governor Na Yunsu of Hampyeong-gun said, “The government has extended the measures considering the increasingly severe overseas situation and the prolonged domestic trend comprehensively, so our county, which is on the front lines, will actively participate. Although social distancing has been prolonged and everyone is going through a difficult time, I ask the residents to once again support this measure for the early end of COVID-19.”
