[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] With the nationwide large-scale resurgence of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and the issuance of the 'Social Distancing Level 2 Upgrade' measure, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 24th that it has changed the '2nd Local Government Employee Interview Schedule.'

The change in the interview schedule, which will be held at the Changwon Convention Center from September 7 to 12, was announced on the provincial website as a measure to enhance the safety of examinees amid the spread of local COVID-19 infections.

The updated schedule minimizes the number of people gathered indoors to 50 and outdoors to 100, reorganizing the interview groups accordingly, in compliance with the government's Social Distancing Level 2 guidelines.

First, except for identity verification, all interviewees must wear masks at all times inside the interview venue. The number of interview groups was increased from two to three, reducing the maximum number of people gathered at the same time by up to 35.5% compared to the original number.

The waiting area for examinees was also separated based on 50 people, minimizing indoor crowding to about 32.3% compared to before, changing the interview process with the health and safety of participants as the top priority.

To ensure a fair and safe interview, access to the interview venue will be restricted to interviewees only, and all examinees will undergo temperature checks and hand sanitization before entry.

The province kept the interview dates unchanged to minimize confusion among examinees and only changed the interview groups. In addition to announcing the changes on the website, related information will be sent to examinees via text messages.

A provincial official stated, “All examinees must check the change announcement and adhere to their interview registration times. For a safe examination, we ask everyone to comply with temperature checks, hand sanitization, and to wear masks at all times inside the interview venue.”
