[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 23rd that it will not operate the sledding hill this year to prevent infection and spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The Susungdae sledding hill, a representative winter playground in western Gyeongnam visited by more than 15,000 people annually, is located within the Geochang scenic spot Susungdae tourist site.

The sledding hill site covers an area of 3,596㎡ and features a 120m long slope, but unfortunately, it will not operate this year due to the nationwide resurgence of COVID-19.

Jung Sang-jun, Director of the Culture and Tourism Division, said, “Most users of the sledding hill are children in elementary school or younger, who have close contact, increasing the risk of infection. We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this is an unavoidable measure.”

Geochang-gun plans to conduct thorough disinfection during the sledding hill closure period and carry out facility inspections and environmental improvements so that visitors can use the facilities in a pleasant environment.
