Jeonbuk Provincial Government Office

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jaehee] Jeonbuk Province will conduct on-site inspections targeting door-to-door sales businesses classified as high-risk facilities related to COVID-19.

According to Jeonbuk Province on the 21st, to completely block illegal operations of door-to-door sales businesses, 903 business sites will be inspected at least once a week.

In the province, a total of 903 businesses are registered, including 2 multi-level marketing companies managed by Jeonbuk Province, 175 sponsor door-to-door sales companies, and 726 door-to-door sales companies managed by city and county governments.

This inspection is a special measure to strengthen the management of door-to-door sales facilities and will be conducted jointly with city and county governments until the 23rd.

The inspection items include ▲ compliance with quarantine rules (social distancing within facilities, mandatory mask-wearing, provision of hand sanitizers, etc.) ▲ encouragement of electronic entry log installation (mandatory installation) ▲ designation of quarantine managers and whether daily inspection records are written.

Jeonbuk Province and city and county governments have so far conducted four inspections, correcting a total of 93 cases of non-compliance with quarantine rules on-site and focusing on encouraging the installation of electronic entry logs.

Along with this, since last month, a 'Door-to-Door Sales Illegal Operation Reporting Center' has been operated to receive reports of illegal business activities by unregistered door-to-door sales companies, illegal promotional gatherings, and companies not complying with key quarantine rules, thereby preventing the spread of infection.

So far, five cases (in Jeonju) have been reported through the reporting center and were immediately corrected through joint investigations with the police.

Na Seokhun, Head of the Job and Economy Headquarters, said, "Unregistered companies are outside the scope of administrative management and are very vulnerable to COVID-19 quarantine," and urged, "Citizens' vigilance and active reporting are necessary."
