Jeonnam Province Requests Cooperation from Cities and Counties to Prohibit Gatherings of Door-to-Door Sales Companies

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 3rd that it has requested cooperation to carefully review and implement a ban on gatherings for door-to-door sales companies, which are high-risk facilities for 'COVID-19', targeting 22 cities and counties within the province.

This is an urgent measure taken due to the increasing risk of spread as COVID-19 community infections continue to occur in Gwangju Metropolitan City, which shares virtually the same living area as Jeonnam. The details were conveyed through a video conference of the COVID-19 Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters.

Meanwhile, Gwangju City raised its social distancing level to Level 2 on the 2nd.

For high-risk facilities, a restriction on gatherings recommending voluntary suspension of facility operations was implemented until the 15th, and door-to-door sales companies related to recent confirmed cases were also banned from gatherings until the 15th.

Currently, Haenam County in Jeonnam has proactively imposed a ban on gatherings for door-to-door sales companies operating in the form of 'promotion centers' since the 12th.

Ahn Sanghyun, Director of the Economic and Energy Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, "To fundamentally block community infections caused by door-to-door sales companies, we will swiftly and strongly mobilize necessary policy measures, including cooperating with cities and counties on administrative measures to ban gatherings."
