[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 10th that it has issued an administrative order banning gatherings for door-to-door sales companies operating in the form of 'promotion centers' to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The so-called 'tteotdabang' promotion centers, characterized by enclosed spaces where unspecified large groups gather, have been causing cluster infections mainly in the metropolitan area.

Especially since the elderly, who are vulnerable to COVID-19, are the main customer base, Haenam-gun decided to protect the safety of its residents through swift measures and proactively respond to blocking the spread of the virus.

The administrative order banning gatherings will be in effect from the 12th to the 30th, during which all promotional and sales activities are strictly prohibited. There are a total of 27 door-to-door sales companies in Haenam-gun, and on-site inspections will also be conducted to guide and ensure compliance with social distancing and quarantine guidelines.

Myeong Hyun-gwan, Governor of Haenam-gun, said, “We prioritize the safety of our residents and will not only proactively respond to the spread of COVID-19 but also actively issue administrative orders if necessary to maintain Haenam as a safe place free from infectious diseases.”
