[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 8th, Lee Dong-jin, the governor of Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do, conveyed a message of respect and gratitude to the medical staff and residents who devoted themselves to preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the local community, announcing that he participated in the ‘Thanks Challenge’.

The ‘Thanks Challenge’ is a nationwide relay campaign where participants take a photo making a sign language gesture symbolizing respect and pride, then upload it on social media to support the medical staff who are doing their best to treat COVID-19 patients.

From February 24 to May 5, Jindo-gun operated a fever checkpoint at Jindo Bridge for 72 days, conducting fever checks on 360,000 vehicles and 710,000 visitors, effectively blocking the inflow of COVID-19 and maintaining a clean Jindo.

Governor Lee Dong-jin of Jindo-gun expressed his gratitude, saying, “The active cooperation of more than 7,000 public officials and volunteers who participated in operating the Jindo Bridge fever checkpoint, as well as the medical staff and residents, was the greatest driving force that protected Jindo from COVID-19.”

Having been nominated by Park Woo-ryang, governor of Sinan-gun, Governor Lee participated in the Thanks Challenge along with senior public officials.

An official from the Jindo-gun Safety Life Support Division stated, “With the transition to social distancing in daily life, we will do our best until the end to end COVID-19 so that residents can safely return to their daily lives.”
