He continued, "The best prevention against the coronavirus is wearing a mask," and urged, "Although the weather is hot, please always wear a mask and strictly practice maintaining a distance of at least 2 meters."

He also emphasized, "To prevent the spread of COVID-19, refrain from visiting other regions, going out, small gatherings, and entering enclosed, crowded, and close-contact places," and stressed, "If you have a fever, sore throat, or cold symptoms, do not go to work or school and immediately consult with a public health center."

The province plans to operate some public facilities flexibly, allowing city and county governments to decide on closures according to local circumstances.
