[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The 'Honam Regional Management Headquarters' for the 2020 Population and Housing and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census has been launched.

According to the Honam Regional Statistics Office (Director Lee Hoseok) on the 1st, the Honam Regional Management Headquarters held a plaque ceremony and began full preparations to successfully carry out the '2020 Population and Housing and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census.'

The implementation headquarters, which oversees the entire Population and Housing and Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census, is based at the Daejeon main office, and regional management headquarters will be established at five local offices including the Honam Regional Statistics Office to oversee operations in their respective areas.

The upcoming census, scheduled to be conducted from November, plans to actively expand non-face-to-face survey methods such as internet surveys (PC and mobile) and telephone surveys, especially in response to the spread of COVID-19.

Lee Hoseok, Director of the Honam Regional Statistics Office, stated, "We plan to actively cooperate organically with local governments within the jurisdiction to ensure the successful implementation of this year's census." He added, "In particular, to prepare for the current phase of COVID-19 spread, when surveyors must inevitably conduct in-person visits, they will be required to wear masks and use hand sanitizers to ensure the safety of both surveyors and respondents."
