Tongyeong City, Full Efforts on COVID-19 Prevention During May Golden Holiday Period

Volunteers in Tongyeong City are intensively promoting COVID-19 daily quarantine measures centered around Jungang Traditional Market.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Tongyeong City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 27th that it will implement a 'Special Traditional Market Life Quarantine Promotion Campaign' during the golden holiday period from the end of this month to early next month, as many tourists are expected to visit.

Focusing on the Jungang Traditional Market, visitors will be encouraged to wear masks, and disposable masks will be distributed to those not wearing them to proactively prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the region due to the concentrated flow of people during the holiday period. Additionally, life quarantine measures such as distributing hand sanitizers, temperature checks, and social distancing will be intensively promoted.

Since it is difficult to maintain a 2-meter distance in the market due to narrow aisles, citizens themselves plan to raise awareness among visitors.

Kang Seok-ju, mayor of Tongyeong City, stated, "I have already instructed all departments to prepare special quarantine measures during the golden holiday period until the COVID-19 situation is over," and added, "We also ask citizens to actively participate in the government's social distancing."
