[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-jin] Sunchang-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 8th that it will reopen public indoor sports facilities, which had been temporarily closed since February 24 due to COVID-19 transmission prevention within the region, starting from the 11th.

The county decided to reopen the facilities following the government's recently announced "distancing in daily life" guidelines, which somewhat eased quarantine measures, allowing indoor sports facilities with high transmission risk to open as long as they comply with disinfection, prohibition of close contact, and other quarantine guidelines.

The sports facilities to be reopened this time include the indoor multipurpose court and indoor gateball court within the Sunchang-gun Public Stadium, the National Sports Center, the Disabled Sports Center, the public equestrian center, and indoor sports facilities installed in the myeon (township) units.

However, the indoor swimming pool was excluded from this reopening decision.

A county official stated, "We ask that all visitors strictly follow quarantine guidelines such as maintaining visitor logs, prohibiting physical contact, keeping distance between users, hand sanitization, and refraining from use by high-risk individuals." He added, "Regarding the indoor swimming pool, we are preparing measures such as operating with a capacity limit, dispersing users by time slots, and maintaining distance when using locker rooms and showers, and will soon decide on its reopening to avoid inconvenience to residents."
