Yeosu City Deploys Quarantine Management Personnel for 'Safe Tourism, Clean Yeosu Tourism'

42 Quarantine Management Staff Begin On-Site Duty at 19 Major Tourist Attractions

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City announced on the 14th that it has hired 42 quarantine management personnel and deployed them to 19 major tourist attractions and facilities since the 9th to begin on-site work.

The quarantine management personnel are part of a project aimed at blocking local COVID-19 infections and creating a safe tourism environment in Yeosu. Until the end of the year, they will guide quarantine rules and support quarantine tasks at 19 tourist sites including Odongdo, Expo Marine Park, Romantic Pocha, Aqua Planet, and the Marine Cable Car.

Their main duties include guiding visitors on wearing masks, using hand sanitizers, maintaining social distancing, and performing quarantine support tasks such as temperature checks. They also serve as inspectors to ensure compliance with quarantine guidelines at the respective facilities.

In particular, due to the increase in visitors following the opening of the Yeosu-Hwayang to Goheung land and island bridge (Yeosu Seomseom-gil) at the end of February, quarantine management personnel have been stationed at the village entrances of Jobaldo, Dunbyeongdo, Nangdo, and Jeokgeumdo islands to ensure the safety of island residents concerned about possible local infections. All visitors are required to have their temperature checked and wear masks before entering the villages.

Going forward, the city plans to recruit additional quarantine management personnel to create local jobs and strengthen quarantine measures by increasing staff at both new and existing tourist sites.

For additional recruitment, please refer to the public notice on the Yeosu City website.

A city official stated, “As Yeosu, a representative marine tourism and resort city of Korea, is known as a clean area and attracts many tourists even amid the COVID-19 situation, we plan to further strengthen quarantine measures at tourist sites.” He added, “Let us strictly follow daily quarantine rules and maintain a happy daily life,” appealing for participation in establishing a safe travel culture.
