[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Hand sanitizers will be provided at all outdoor sports facilities in Gijang-gun, Busan.

The outdoor facilities where Gijang-gun plans to strengthen infectious disease prevention management include all outdoor sports facilities in the five eup and myeon areas such as villages, parks, and riversides.

According to Gijang-gun on the 13th, a total of 157 outdoor sports facilities, including 106 neighborhood sports facilities and public sports facilities, and 51 park sports facilities within the jurisdiction, will be equipped with hand sanitizers at outdoor exercise equipment and playground facilities frequently used by residents in daily life to thoroughly block infections transmitted by hand contact.

This is in response to the recent cluster infection at a badminton club in Gwangju, with plans to strengthen inspection and management of local community sports facilities to thoroughly prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the local community in advance.

Oh Gyu-seok, the mayor of Gijang-gun, said, “Even though the possibility of COVID-19 transmission is relatively low at outdoor sports facilities, we must never be complacent,” adding, “For the health and safety of the residents, hand sanitizers will be placed without exception at all places used by residents to proactively respond to the prevention of COVID-19 spread.”

Indoor sports facilities in Gijang-gun, such as the Gijang-gun National Sports Center and Gijang Community Sports Center, have already completely suspended operations since February 22, when the COVID-19 alert level was raised to serious.
