[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, amid the ongoing spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in the local community, is receiving warm support for the county health center staff who are fighting on the front lines.


According to the county, since the confirmed COVID-19 case of a taxi driver on the 11th, the screening clinic within the county health center has seen a continuous line of residents seeking testing. The screening clinic has activated an emergency system and is conducting overnight testing to do its best to prevent community spread.


Accordingly, various sectors within the region have been delivering encouragement items such as fruits, rice cakes, beverages, and snacks to support the county health center officials responding to COVID-19, with warm gestures continuing day after day.


Those who delivered the encouragement items said, "We understand that everyone is going through difficult days to overcome COVID-19. We express our gratitude and support for the efforts of many," boosting the morale of the staff.



A county official stated, "As COVID-19 is spreading in the local community, it is time for both the quarantine authorities and residents to overcome this with one heart," and added, "Since confirmed cases are our neighbors, excessive attacks and indiscriminate criticism can cause great harm to individuals, so please refrain from such behavior."
