Hwasun-gun to Resume Public Facility Operations from the 3rd of Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 30th that it will resume the operation of public welfare and cultural arts facilities from the 3rd of next month following the recent transition of COVID-19 quarantine measures to Level 1.

Level 1 is a stage where daily economic activities are possible while complying with quarantine rules, allowing gatherings, meetings, and events, and permitting the operation of public and private multi-use facilities.

Accordingly, from the 27th, 40 daycare centers and some welfare facilities such as local self-sufficiency centers began operations.

The county is actively preparing for the reopening of public facilities by conducting disinfection, limiting the number of entrants, enforcing mask-wearing, checking body temperature, and introducing electronic entry logs.

They plan to gradually open public facilities after creating an environment where quarantine rules can be strictly followed.

From the 3rd of next month, 435 village senior citizen centers, 2 public libraries, 20 outdoor sports facilities such as gateball, gukgung (Korean traditional archery) fields, and soccer fields, as well as youth cultural centers and after-school academies will be opened and operated.

Cultural and artistic facilities such as Hwasun-gun Seokbong Art Museum, Hwasun-gun Cheonbul Cheontap Photo Culture Center, O Ji-ho Memorial Hall, and Hwasun Artists' Village will also reopen.

However, some facilities will continue to remain closed.

Hwasun-eup Resident Autonomy Center, three indoor sports facilities (Hanium Culture Sports Center, Lee Yong-dae Gymnasium, Hwasun-gun Citizen Comprehensive Culture Center Swimming Pool), Nadri Senior Welfare Center, forest recreation facilities (Baegasan Natural Recreation Forest, Hancheon Natural Recreation Forest), and Manyeonsan Healing Forest will be closed for the time being.

Facilities vulnerable to infection such as nursing homes for the elderly and geriatric hospitals will maintain a ban on visits from outsiders, and gatherings at high-risk door-to-door sales facilities will continue to be prohibited.

High-risk facilities such as entertainment venues and karaoke rooms will continue to be inspected for compliance with quarantine rules equivalent to Level 2, and violations will be subject to fines of up to 3 million won or administrative measures (business restrictions).

A county official said, “Although the quarantine level has been lowered to Level 1, we must not let our guard down in daily life,” and added, “Especially during the upcoming school vacation and holiday season next month, please thoroughly practice personal hygiene and quarantine rules.”
