[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do has designated the period from the 1st to January 15th as the 'Year-end and New Year Gathering Pause Period.'


This measure is a serious response to the nationwide spread trend and the expansion of group infections over the past week.


The province has urged restraint from all public and private events, including post-SAT celebrations, Christmas, year-end parties, closing ceremonies, sunrise viewing, and New Year gatherings.


The three major quarantine rules to observe during the year-end and New Year period are ▲ avoiding the 3Cs (Crowded places, Close-contact settings, and Confined spaces) and refraining from using high-risk multi-use facilities such as bathhouses and entertainment venues ▲ strictly following the five key personal quarantine rules when using multi-use facilities inevitably ▲ promptly undergoing diagnostic testing if respiratory symptoms such as a cold appear.



Shin Jong-woo, Director of the Provincial Welfare and Health Bureau, emphasized, “In addition to raising social distancing levels and strengthening inspections, the voluntary cooperation of residents is urgently needed,” and added, “Please adhere well to personal quarantine rules and cancel or postpone gatherings and events that pose a risk of infection.”
