[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on the 6th that it conducted training for senior officials in the county office meeting room regarding the implementation decision to raise Jeollanam-do's social distancing to Level 2.

Additionally, administrative measures restricting gatherings at high-risk facilities such as entertainment venues and indoor sports facilities will continue, and when operation is unavoidable, all attendees must wear masks and undergo temperature checks.

Obligatory use of electronic entry logs, including entry log creation and maintaining a certain distance between people, will be enforced as part of compliance with quarantine rules.

For nursing hospitals and nursing facilities for the elderly, visits from outsiders will be banned for two weeks, outings by facility workers will be blocked, and bans on gatherings and facility closures related to recent COVID-19 confirmed cases at multi-use facilities will be implemented.

Separately, on the 2nd, the county announced mandatory mask-wearing for bus and taxi workers and passengers when using public transportation and conducted compliance inspections.

Governor Kim Jun-seong said, “To prevent the spread of COVID-19, all residents and public officials must thoroughly implement the social distancing Level 2 measures, and I urge everyone to actively guide all residents to make mask-wearing a daily habit.”
