County Governor Kim Cheol-woo Steps Up as First Participant... Creating a Quarantine Participation Atmosphere Using SNS

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Kim Cheol-woo, the governor of Boseong County, announced on the 8th that he participated as the first participant in the Boseong County COVID-19 Prevention Participation Campaign #IAmFirst SNS Relay Challenge on the 7th and requested participation in prevention efforts.

Boseong County started the relay challenge on SNS with the purpose of encouraging all residents to voluntarily participate in prevention efforts, following the request for cooperation in the prevention participation campaign from Jeollanam-do.

The method of participating in the challenge is to print the designated image, write “I am first” by hand, take a photo with it, tag #TogetherWePreventChallenge and #IAmFirst, and nominate three people to participate in the campaign. The challenge runs until the 31st.

Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, “Please thoroughly maintain personal hygiene and strictly follow prevention rules to block the spread of COVID-19 together,” adding, “I hope many people will join this challenge as well to reconsider the importance of prevention and turn it into practical daily habits.”

Governor Kim Cheol-woo nominated Kim Han-gwan, Superintendent of Boseong Office of Education, Park Im-gyu, Chief of Boseong Police Station, and Park Kyung-hee, Director of the Health Center, as the next participants.

To enhance the effectiveness of the ‘I Am First’ prevention participation campaign, Boseong County installed 141 banners and signboards at government offices, multi-use facilities, and major roads within the county, and the towns and townships are conducting their own outreach campaigns.

Meanwhile, the I Am First campaign was implemented by Jeollanam-do to respond to the large-scale winter outbreak of COVID-19 with strong prevention measures such as ▲wearing masks, ▲refraining from going out or traveling, ▲canceling dinners and gatherings, and ▲getting tested if feeling sick, aiming to create an atmosphere of social distancing participation. It is being intensively promoted through joint public-private outreach campaigns, installation of banners and signboards, distribution of promotional printed materials, and YouTube video releases.
