[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo County has established and is operating its own implementation plan in response to the government's elevation of social distancing to Level 2 due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

On the 24th, Jindo County announced that it will mobilize all human and material resources to focus on completely blocking community transmission of COVID-19.

Following government guidelines, the county is strengthening disinfection measures for public and private facilities and enhancing public campaigns to encourage compliance with personal hygiene rules such as wearing masks.

Since the 23rd, the county has suspended operations of public facilities, senior centers, and senior welfare centers, and banned visits from outsiders to nursing hospitals for the elderly and facilities for people with disabilities.

In particular, residents are urged to always wear masks indoors and outdoors, refrain from gatherings and dinners, and adhere to personal quarantine rules.

All gatherings and events with more than 50 people indoors and more than 100 people outdoors are completely prohibited, and operations of high-risk facilities such as entertainment bars, karaoke rooms, PC rooms, and indoor group exercise facilities have been suspended.

Jindo County is operating a 24-hour emergency quarantine system centered on the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, including fever screening stations at Jindo Bridge and monitoring of foreign entrants and self-quarantined individuals.

A Jindo County official stated, “We will not let our guard down in this emergency situation,” and added, “Until the situation calms down, we will focus on securing the safety and health of residents and carry out quarantine activities.”
