Haenam-gun Receives Positive Response for Selecting Quarantine Personnel from Tourism Industry Workers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do is receiving positive responses by selecting tourism industry workers who are struggling due to COVID-19 as quarantine management personnel at tourist sites.

According to Haenam-gun on the 7th, since the 5th, 23 quarantine personnel have been deployed and operated at four major tourist sites including Ttangkkeut, Daeheungsa, and Mihwangsa.

In particular, the selected tourist site quarantine personnel are residents engaged in the tourism industry such as travel agency operators, who have suffered significant damage to their livelihoods and business operations due to COVID-19.

The county has allocated 75 million won in national funds and an additional 112 million won in its own budget to provide jobs to as many people as possible, helping to overcome the damage caused by COVID-19.

The tourist site quarantine personnel not only carry out quarantine at tourist sites but also guide overall daily quarantine rules such as wearing masks, using hand sanitizers, and maintaining a 2-meter distance, as well as performing tasks such as inspecting the tourist site environment.

Operation is scheduled until March, and efforts are being made to improve working conditions by preparing cold-weather measures such as installing booths and heaters at Daeheungsa and Mihwangsa.

Haenam-gun also achieved a dual effect of preventing the spread of COVID-19 and creating jobs by selecting and operating quarantine management personnel from tourism industry workers from September to December last year.
