[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Youth Association of Hapcheon-eup, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 21st that they conducted disinfection mainly in places with frequent human visits such as markets in Hapcheon-eup to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) ahead of Chuseok.

At a time when COVID-19 is spreading nationwide, this Chuseok raised concerns about cluster infections due to visits to hometowns by relatives living in other cities and provinces, so disinfection was carried out to prevent re-spread.

On that day, disinfection activities focused on spraying disinfectants in markets crowded with people for the Chuseok peak season, and disinfecting frequently touched places such as business door handles.

Jung Hong-ju, president of the Youth Association, said, “Since markets are places frequently used by elderly people with weak immunity, we thoroughly disinfected to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” adding, “I hope residents can spend Chuseok safely through this disinfection activity.”

Kim Hae-sik, mayor of Hapcheon-eup, said, “There is great anxiety about the spread of COVID-19 ahead of Chuseok,” and urged, “I hope residents strictly follow basic personal quarantine rules such as wearing masks and washing hands.”
