[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Sang-ik, former governor of Hampyeong County, Jeonnam, joined the "Stay Strong" campaign to overcome the COVID-19 crisis through the county's official SNS on the 11th.

According to Hampyeong County, the "Stay Strong" campaign is a global relay campaign initiated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea to encourage worldwide solidarity and support for the early end of COVID-19.

The campaign is open to anyone worldwide, who can participate by taking a photo with a message supporting the overcoming of COVID-19 and then nominating three people to continue the campaign by posting it on SNS.

On that day, Governor Lee participated in the campaign holding a placard with the phrase "Stay Strong, There’s always hope," after being nominated by Kim Joon-sung, governor of Yeonggwang County, Jeonnam.

The "praying hands covered with bubbles" drawn on the placard symbolize overcoming COVID-19 through thorough personal hygiene management.

Governor Lee nominated Park Jong-yeol, chief of Hampyeong Police Station, Ham Myung-jun, governor of Goseong County, and Lee Jeong-yong, head of Gimje Nonghyup Cooperative, as the next campaign participants.

Governor Lee said, "The COVID-19 virus, which seems just out of reach, is causing distress worldwide," and added, "Please actively participate in the Stay Strong campaign to overcome the infectious disease crisis by thoroughly managing personal hygiene and following quarantine guidelines."
