[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Young-wook] The Jirisan Rest Area on the Daegu-bound Gwangju-Daegu Expressway, managed by Korea Expressway Corporation, announced on the 3rd that it is minimizing customer inconvenience by focusing on 'takeout' (packaged sales) menus in accordance with the government's strengthened Chuseok holiday quarantine measures.

The Jirisan Rest Area on the Daegu-bound side limits its restaurant takeout menu to three items: 'Donkatsu', 'Jirisan Sanchae Bibimbap', and 'Gimbap', while also selling convenient frozen gimbap, hamburgers, cup rice, and lunch boxes at the convenience store for easy meals.

Next to the convenience store, a large number of microwaves are provided for customers purchasing ready-to-eat meals. Additionally, the outdoor store selling hot bar items such as Sotteok Sotteok, hot dogs, and walnut cookies is operating normally. The ban on seating in the restaurant area will be maintained until the last day of the holiday, the 4th.

Park Yoon-seok, the rest area manager, said, "It is true that many people complain because we cannot provide everything as before due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19)," adding, "Even in these difficult times, we are doing our best to create an environment where there is no concern about COVID-19 infection through thorough social distancing."
