Suwon-si, Complete Suspension of Operations at All Public Facilities

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province will completely suspend the operation of all public facilities in accordance with the government's 'strengthened quarantine measures.'

On the 14th, Suwon City announced that it has decided to suspend the operation of public facilities such as public libraries, museums, art galleries, indoor and outdoor public sports facilities, welfare centers, senior citizen centers, local children's centers, and facilities used by vulnerable groups until the COVID-19 situation stabilizes, following the extension of the government's strengthened quarantine measures.

Earlier, on the 12th, the government announced that due to the continuous spread of COVID-19 in the metropolitan area, the end date for the strengthened quarantine measures would not be set and that the measures would be maintained until the number of new confirmed cases in the metropolitan area decreases to single digits.

According to this measure, the operation of collaborative institution management facilities and other multi-use gathering facilities will also be suspended. In addition, the 'gathering restriction order' targeting nine business types including singing practice rooms, hunting pubs, GX sports facilities, academies, and PC rooms will be extended indefinitely due to the extension of the strengthened quarantine measures.

However, children's centers, Dahamkke Care Centers, and Dream Start Centers in the Suwon area will only provide 'emergency care.' The non-face-to-face Suwon City Library book reservation and loan service will continue to operate. This service allows users to search and reserve books on the Suwon City Library website (https://www.suwonlib.go.kr) or app, and pick up the reserved books at the library the next day.

A city official emphasized, "Please refrain from going out and gathering until the strengthened quarantine measures are lifted," and added, "Operators of multi-use facilities must strictly comply with the administrative orders for gathering bans (restrictions)."
