[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, inspected the quarantine situation at traditional markets ahead of Chuseok.
According to Jeonnam Province on the 27th, Governor Kim visited Suncheon Araetjang to encourage traditional market merchants who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to check the quarantine status in preparation for Chuseok.
This on-site inspection was arranged to monitor the response situation as the number of visitors to traditional markets increases ahead of the Chuseok holiday, raising concerns about the spread of local infections.
On that day, Governor Kim explained to the merchants the COVID-19 prevention measures for Chuseok, the government and Jeonnam Province's second disaster relief fund support plan, small business support policies, and measures to revitalize traditional markets.
Afterwards, he visited stores within the market, purchased goods using the Jeonnam Happiness Local Currency (Suncheon Sarang Gift Certificate) to stimulate consumption, and distributed masks to encourage the merchants in preventing COVID-19.
The province recently took proactive measures to strengthen quarantine at traditional markets in preparation for Chuseok by distributing 155,600 masks and 2,320 hand sanitizers to 116 traditional markets across the province.
Along with this, a joint inspection team from the province and city/counties has been formed to check the quarantine situation at traditional markets until the 29th.
