Goheung-gun, Full Efforts to Prevent COVID-19 Local Transmission

Emergency Distribution of Quarantine Supplies to Social Welfare Facilities for Vulnerable Groups

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Goheung-gun, Jeonnam announced on the 20th that it has judged that the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases, which had been calming down, is showing a nationwide spread through various routes such as workplaces, medical institutions, and religious facilities following the August 15 Gwanghwamun rally, and has taken active measures in response.

In particular, as confirmed cases have occurred consecutively in some cities and counties within the province, considering the seriousness of the situation, they are strengthening their own quarantine activities.

In this regard, the reason why Goheung-gun, which has persistently maintained a COVID-19 clean area until now, cannot let down its guard is precisely because of this.

The county is putting all its efforts into preventing local COVID-19 infections with a firm determination that "prevention is the best way to escape the threat of COVID-19 infection."

Also, to efficiently prevent the spread of COVID-19, the county maintains communication and organic cooperation systems among related departments such as the public health center, disaster safety division, and women and youth division, as well as with private facilities.

To this end, dedicated personnel are assigned to each facility at 769 social welfare facilities such as senior citizen centers, nursing homes, and local children's centers, which are group-use facilities within the county, and 805 business sites to conduct daily checks on compliance with quarantine safety rules, management of visitor logs, and temperature checks, preparing for prevention and epidemiological investigations.

Furthermore, realizing that the best practical choice to escape the risk of COVID-19 is wearing masks, and to prepare in advance for mask shortages, they have secured 60,000 KF94 masks in advance and are planning to distribute 40,000 masks to each facility, including 25,000 masks to senior citizen centers, 6,600 masks to long-term care facilities, and 4,185 masks to local children's centers and group homes.
