[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Volunteer Fire Brigade of Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that on the 22nd, in response to the extension of social distancing measures until the 5th of next month, they conducted extensive disinfection and sterilization at facilities frequently used by many people, such as the Haenam 5-day Market and the terminal, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to raise awareness that had become lax.

On the morning of the day, about 150 members gathered at the Haenam 5-day Market, formed 14 teams, divided the area, and carried out disinfection activities throughout Haenam-eup. All members wore masks and protective suits to preemptively block any possible COVID-19 infection during the process.

The disinfection focused on about 50 multi-use facilities including senior citizen centers, village halls, transportation facilities such as terminals, taxi and bus stops, and traditional markets.

Kim Ho-seong, president of the Haenam Volunteer Fire Brigade Association, said, “Since last February, we have been supporting disinfection in the eup and myeon areas at least once a week,” and added, “With a sense of ownership for our hometown, the entire volunteer fire brigade will move as one not only at fire, rescue, and emergency scenes but also wherever help is needed.”
