[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that it will issue an administrative order to control the departure and arrival of fishing boats registered in Wando-gun for 7 days from the 24th to the 30th, prohibiting fishing operations to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Recently, confirmed cases have been continuously occurring in the Gwangju and Jeonnam areas, and there are concerns about community transmission due to external inflow, such as confirmed cases from other regions visiting Wando-gun, leading to the issuance of the administrative order.

County Governor Shin Woo-cheol said, “We apologize for the inconvenience to those visiting Wando, but what is most important now is our safety, so we ask for active participation in COVID-19 prevention guidelines and social distancing.”

Meanwhile, Wando-gun has issued fishing boat operation prohibition administrative orders three times, including from March 28 to 29, April 4 to 5 (4 days), and September 4 to 6 (3 days), and is making every effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the region.
