[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyungpil] The Wando-gun Health Living Support Center in Jeonnam announced on the 27th that it will operate the 'On(on)tact Health Promotion Program' starting in August to improve the lack of physical activity and increasing obesity rates caused by restrictions on outdoor activities due to COVID-19.

On(on)tact is a compound word combining 'untact,' meaning non-face-to-face, and 'on,' referring to connection with the outside through online.

The 'On(on)tact Health Promotion Program' is designed to allow anyone to practice physical activities and receive various health information in daily life without being restricted by time or place by using a 'mobile app.'

The pilot programs planned are 'You DO I DO Healthy Walking Exercise' and the nutrition cooking class 'Separately and Together LIVE Home Cook Class,' which will be operated throughout August, with plans to expand if social distancing continues long-term.

The program will be conducted using the mobile app 'Walk On' and the video conferencing system 'ZOOM,' and any residents who can use a smartphone can participate.

Recruitment is on a first-come, first-served basis until the 31st, and those who wish to participate can check on the Wando-gun Office (or Health Medical Center) website, and phone registration is also available at the Health Living Support Center.

Kim Seonjong, Director of the Wando-gun Health Medical Center, said, "We will operate health promotion programs that residents can feel based on the needs and demands of the local community to support residents in practicing healthy living on their own."
