Damyang-gun "Blocking COVID-19"... Extension of Restrictions on Use of Multi-Use Facilities View original image


[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Damyang County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Choi Hyung-sik) announced on the 8th that it has extended the ban on gatherings of social organizations within the county and restrictions on the use of all public sports facilities, indoor tourist sites, and other multi-use facilities in the area to block community transmission.


The county implemented this measure based on the judgment that it is too early to be complacent as the spread continues in nearby areas such as restaurants near traditional markets in Gwangju Metropolitan City.


According to this measure, all gatherings and meeting events where many people gather are prohibited until the 20th, and the use of outdoor sports facilities, Dambit Swimming Pool, cultural centers, gymnasiums, and other indoor public facilities is restricted.


The county has mandated mask-wearing in accordance with the recent administrative order by Jeollanam-do requiring indoor and outdoor mask use and the nationwide extension of social distancing level 2, and has prepared a separate consultation area within the government office to assist civil petitioners.


In addition, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, temperature checks are conducted at entrances, and transparent acrylic panels have been installed at desks with many civil petitioners and meeting rooms.


Thorough disinfection is also carried out daily in each office of the government building, door handles at entrances, civil petition counters, and unmanned civil petition issuance machines.



Governor Choi Hyung-sik said, “As confirmed cases have consecutively emerged in restaurants within Gwangju traditional markets, areas sharing the same living space cannot lower their vigilance,” and urged, “Please strictly follow the thorough social distancing rules and guidelines, which are the strongest shield to protect the region.”
