[Asia Economy (Naepo) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daecheon Beach was closed early as of 12 a.m. on the 23rd. However, since the closure of the beach does not prohibit the entry of all personnel, quarantine activities will be maintained until the end of this month.

According to Chungnam Province on the 23rd, Daecheon Beach was originally scheduled to operate until the 31st of this month. However, as the social distancing level 2 was expanded nationwide, the province explained that all beaches in the jurisdiction, including Daecheon Beach, would be closed. Along with the closure of the beach, nighttime eating and drinking on the white sand beach, nearby plazas, and public places will also be prohibited.

However, separate from suspending the operation of the beach, the province plans to deploy quarantine personnel on site until the end of this month. Also, the drive-through method of comprehensive fever checks and wristband distribution, which had been conducted at Daecheon Beach, Taean Mallipo, and Mongsanpo Beaches, will continue to operate until the end of this month.

In particular, the province judged that this weekend will be a critical point for the success or failure of preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and plans to form a joint inspection team to strengthen quarantine and safety management at Daecheon and Mallipo Beaches, among others.

A provincial official said, “Even though the beach is closed, visits themselves are not prohibited, so safety and quarantine management will be carried out as before until the originally scheduled closing date,” adding, “We will do our best in quarantine to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
