Deputy Minister Hong Jeong-gi Guides Zoo Life Quarantine Guidelines: "Online Booking and Social Distancing Maintained"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Hong Jeong-gi, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Environment, visited Seoul Grand Park Zoo in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province on the 4th to check the preparation status for the transition to daily social distancing and conducted a campaign to comply with daily quarantine guidelines.

The Ministry of Environment had previously distributed quarantine guidelines for zoos, posters, and other promotional materials to zoos nationwide on the 24th of last month. This campaign was organized to inform visitors to the zoo about the daily quarantine guidelines.

The daily quarantine guidelines for zoos consist of compliance requirements for visitors and facility operators/managers. Visitors are encouraged to book tickets online, maintain a distance of 2 meters between people after entering, and refrain from contacting animals or feeding them.

Zoo managers are instructed to provide sufficient informational materials and hand sanitizers to help visitors easily follow the daily quarantine guidelines, and to take measures such as attaching floor stickers spaced 1 to 2 meters apart to encourage social distancing.

Vice Minister Hong said, "In the ongoing situation of COVID-19, quarantine management of facilities used by many citizens, such as zoos, is especially important," and added, "We ask for active cooperation so that outdoor activities can be safe and healthy through compliance with daily quarantine guidelines."
