Gokseong-gun Implements Special COVID-19 Prevention Measures During Chuseok Holiday Period

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 25th that it will implement special quarantine measures during the Chuseok holiday period.

To this end, the county established a special quarantine implementation plan on the 22nd to block the spread of COVID-19 in anticipation of an increase in visitors due to the movement of residents from the metropolitan area during the Chuseok holiday period.

According to the plan established by the county, first, pre-promotion of quarantine rules will be strengthened.

It mainly includes detailed guidance on social distancing level 2 quarantine rules (▲wearing masks indoors and outdoors ▲maintaining distance ▲keeping entry logs at high-risk facilities ▲prohibition of gatherings of 50 or more people indoors, etc.) for multi-use facilities such as Seomjingang Train Village and traditional markets.

During the holiday period, 63 public officials will be deployed to continuously inspect and educate whether the quarantine rules are being properly followed. A total of 126 locations in 10 sectors, including terminals, welfare facilities, and tourist sites, will be targeted, with focused inspections on facility managers and users.

In particular, this inspection aims not only to comply with level 2 quarantine rules but also to make efforts to fundamentally prevent the inflow and spread of COVID-19.

Specifically, measures include ▲preventing long-term gatherings of multiple people inside stations and terminals, ▲principally prohibiting outings and visits to nursing facilities, ▲banning minors from entering PC rooms and prohibiting eating and drinking there, ▲intensive promotion of quarantine rule compliance at traditional markets during the Chuseok peak season, and ▲operating screening clinics during the holiday period.

The Gokseong-gun Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters stated, “We will do our best to ensure a Chuseok holiday free from COVID-19 infection concerns,” and urged, “We ask visitors and residents to cooperate as much as possible by refraining from contact with others and strictly following quarantine rules.”
