[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jaehee] Iksan City, Jeonbuk, has designated and is operating Safe Restaurants to prevent COVID-19 infection and create a dining environment where citizens can visit with peace of mind.

According to the city on the 12th, 33 restaurants practicing daily quarantine were selected as Safe Restaurants, and a certificate presentation ceremony was held for each restaurant on the same day.

Along with the certificate presentation, the city supported items such as individual plates, separate spoon rests, and employee masks to improve the culture of serving food individually, and conducted hygiene education for the operation of Safe Restaurants.

Going forward, the city plans to promote through its website and SNS, and expand the number of Safe Restaurants to 75 by next month.

Safe Restaurants must comply with rules such as providing tools for serving food individually like personal plates, hygienic management of spoons, employees wearing masks, ventilation at least twice a day, provision of hand sanitizers, and daily disinfection of the business premises to prevent COVID-19.

Mayor Jeong Heon-yul said, “As the COVID-19 situation continues, we expect this opportunity to establish a safe dining culture,” and added, “We ask for the active participation of citizens in the new dining culture of serving food individually.”
