[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) has started Chuseok greeting activities targeting low-income families and social welfare facilities since the day before yesterday.

The city plans to deliver consolation goods worth approximately 55.2 million KRW, including Yeosu gift certificates, local specialties, and fruits, to 500 low-income households and 1,230 people at 61 social welfare facilities.

Mayor Kwon Oh-bong and senior officials will visit facilities for the disabled, nursing homes for the elderly, and child welfare facilities to encourage workers and residents and deliver consolation goods.

Eup, myeon, and dong heads will visit low-income households in their jurisdictions to check on their well-being and deliver consolation goods.

In particular, this Chuseok, due to COVID-19, consolation goods will be delivered contactlessly outside the facilities, and the activities will be conducted in compliance with quarantine rules such as temperature checks.

Mayor Kwon Oh-bong of Yeosu said, “I understand that this Chuseok is a more difficult time due to COVID-19,” and added, “We will carefully ensure that no neighbors are left out during the Chuseok holiday and that all citizens can have a happy Chuseok.”

He also urged, “Since social welfare facilities are especially vulnerable to infection, I hope that the guidelines of health authorities, such as thorough facility disinfection and personal hygiene, will be strictly followed.”
