Hwasun-gun Decides on COVID-19 'Special Quarantine Period' Until the 4th of Next Month

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Jeollanam-do Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 24th that it has designated the period until the 4th of next month as a special quarantine inspection period to prevent the spread of COVID-19 ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

The county will operate a quarantine emergency response team at all times to ensure the COVID-19 response quarantine system is maintained without disruption during the Chuseok holiday.

It plans to focus on strengthening quarantine rule publicity, including enhanced management of overseas entrants and their contacts, operation of screening clinics, and campaigns for COVID-19 prevention.

The manual for responding to confirmed cases will be reorganized, and comprehensive disinfection will be conducted at vulnerable facilities such as multi-use facilities. Dedicated public officials will be assigned to monitor symptoms and any violations among overseas entrants and those in self-quarantine.

Supervision of medical institutions and 14 nursing hospitals will be conducted regularly, including prohibiting visits to ensure quarantine conditions.

During the Chuseok holiday, screening clinics will operate at two locations: the public health center and Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital.

The public health center will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., while Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital will operate 24 hours.

The screening clinics are responsible for rapid specimen collection and transportation for symptomatic individuals (fever, respiratory symptoms, etc.), contacts of confirmed cases, and overseas entrants.

A public health center official said, “For this Chuseok, please stay at home as much as possible and minimize contact with others to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 for the health and safety of yourself, your family, and relatives. If travel is unavoidable, please strictly follow quarantine rules such as wearing a mask.”
