Closure of 452 Multi-use Facilities, Expansion of Electronic Entry Logs, and Strengthened Quarantine Measures Ordered

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yong-chul] Kim Cheol-woo, the governor of Boseong County, held an emergency response meeting on COVID-19 prevention on the 3rd and ordered the closure of 452 multi-use facilities and the expansion of electronic entry systems to strengthen quarantine measures.

At the meeting, quarantine management measures were reviewed, focusing on high-risk facilities for COVID-19 cluster infections.

In particular, as COVID-19 has recently spread in the Gwangju and Jeonnam areas, measures to strengthen quarantine management to prevent the spread of COVID-19 were discussed.

The facilities to be closed this time include eight usage facilities such as comprehensive social welfare centers, 443 senior citizen centers, and the Hoecheon seafood wholesale market.

The closure period for social welfare facilities is 13 days from the 3rd to the 15th, and the extension will be decided depending on the trend of COVID-19 spread. The Hoecheon seafood wholesale market will be closed until the 3rd of next month, during which internal remodeling work will be carried out.

Also, Yulpo Solbat Beach, which opens on the 11th, will operate by advance reservation, and the two water play areas at Jeamsan Natural Recreation Forest will be closed during the summer peak season, with group visitors restricted from entry.

Visitors to the government office will be attended to in a separately prepared consultation area after completing registration and temperature checks.

The county will have a guidance period until the 14th and will mandate the installation of electronic entry logs at workplaces with high foot traffic and contact rates.

Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, “As COVID-19 is spreading in Gwangju and Jeonnam and the summer vacation season approaches, we must be more thorough in quarantine management to prevent local infections,” adding, “Please strengthen quarantine not only in public facilities but also in private workplaces, personal hygiene, and visitor management.”
