[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil County, Jeonbuk, is launching a Safe Restaurant operation to help restaurants facing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

On the 20th, according to the county, as the avoidance of dining out has intensified due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, they decided to designate and operate Safe Restaurants targeting eateries that comply with daily quarantine rules to create a safe dining environment and revitalize dining out.

To be designated as a Safe Restaurant, the establishment must meet all four major quarantine practice tasks: ▲providing and distributing utensils that allow for serving food individually ▲hygienic management of spoons and chopsticks ▲employees wearing masks ▲installation of handwashing facilities or provision of hand sanitizers.

The county plans to prioritize designation after on-site inspections of model restaurants and hygiene grade certified establishments if they meet the designation criteria.

For general restaurants wishing to be designated as Safe Restaurants, applications will be accepted and designation will be made after on-site verification. For application methods, refer to the county office website or contact the Hygiene Management Team of the Cleaning and Hygiene Division.

Designated establishments will be given Safe Restaurant stickers, and strict post-management will be enforced, including cancellation of designation if even one of the four major designation requirements is not met during continuous inspections.

Additionally, hygiene supplies will be provided to designated Safe Restaurants, and information on the locations and status of Safe Restaurants will be actively promoted through map apps, websites, and SNS media so that residents and tourists can easily access it.

County Governor Sim Min said, “Many residents are reluctant to dine out due to the COVID-19 situation,” and added, “I hope the Safe Restaurant designation project will greatly help improve dietary culture and revitalize the local economy.”
