[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Gu Chung-gon, governor of Hwasun County, Jeollanam-do, participated in the "Thank You, Essential Workers" campaign on the 22nd, expressing gratitude and respect to essential workers such as healthcare, caregiving, sanitation, transportation, and delivery workers.

This campaign supports essential workers who risk their safety to perform face-to-face labor in an era where social distancing and non-face-to-face interactions have become the norm due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Governor Gu said, "I am heartbroken by the recent tragic news of delivery workers losing their lives one after another due to overwork and financial hardship," adding, "I hope that the working conditions and treatment of all essential workers, including delivery workers, will improve, and that a culture of social respect for essential workers will be established as soon as possible."

Governor Gu, who was nominated as a campaign runner by Lee Seung-ok, governor of Gangjin County, and Cho Young-il, chief of Suncheon Police Station, nominated Kang In-gyu, mayor of Naju City, Choi Hyung-sik, governor of Damyang County, and Choi Ki-cheon, chairman of Hwasun County Council, as the next runners.
