Gokseong-gun Strengthens COVID-19 Prevention Inspections at Welfare Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Gokseong-gun, Jeonnam, is focusing on disinfecting welfare facilities to block local transmission following the spread of COVID-19 infections in the Gwangju area.

According to Gokseong-gun on the 9th, the county conducted COVID-19 disinfection guidance and inspections at 22 social welfare facilities from the 1st to the 3rd of this month.

The inspection team visited 14 group living facilities, 7 local children's centers, and 1 communal living home to check compliance with disinfection guidelines and provided guidance on installing non-face-to-face visitation areas. They also distributed 3,394 masks and urged thorough disinfection.

Furthermore, since Jeonnam entered social distancing level 2 on the 6th, the inspection targets have been expanded, and disinfection is being carried out at 372 locations until the 17th.

In addition to welfare facilities, multi-use facilities such as wedding halls, funeral halls, and multicultural family support centers are also included in the inspection targets. A checklist has been created and is being used for systematic inspections, and inspections will continue regularly even after this round is completed.

A county official said, “Since many people travel to and from the nearby Gwangju area, we cannot help but pay extra attention. Especially because our county has many elderly people who are vulnerable to health issues, we will thoroughly enforce disinfection.”
