[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam County, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 19th that it is strengthening quarantine measures without letting its guard down as COVID-19 cases have surged recently, mainly in the Seoul metropolitan area, and the spread to neighboring cities and counties is accelerating.

In particular, County Governor Myeong Hyeon-gwan requested voluntary entry log registration cooperation not only at entertainment facilities implementing electronic entry logs but also at multi-use facilities such as cafes and restaurants, and instructed the relevant departments to conduct quarantine inspections.

In this regard, on the 19th, officials directly visited local restaurants and cafes to check compliance with quarantine rules such as mask-wearing on-site and asked for cooperation in self-quarantine disinfection.

Earlier, the Haenam County Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters conducted a comprehensive re-inspection of quarantine measures at 3,056 facilities under Haenam County’s jurisdiction during the Liberation Day holiday period, including local tourist attractions such as Songho Beach, Ttangkkeut Observatory, and Ttangkkeut Auto Camping Site, as well as hygiene establishments such as general restaurants and entertainment facilities, karaoke rooms, PC rooms, postpartum care centers, toy libraries, senior centers, and welfare facilities.

Additionally, as of the 16th, with the social distancing level in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas raised to Level 2, visitors from the metropolitan area and other regions are being guided to strictly follow quarantine rules and undergo testing.

Governor Myeong Hyeon-gwan said, “Although it is difficult and inconvenient due to the heatwave, for the prevention of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, business owners and workers must make mask-wearing mandatory, and thorough disinfection and ventilation management must become a daily routine,” adding, “We ask residents and tourists to strictly adhere to personal and daily quarantine rules.”
