[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon County in Gyeongnam announced on the 14th that Moon Jun-hee, the head of Hapcheon County, visited the workplaces of field workers who silently carry out their duties outdoors despite the Arctic cold wave, encouraging the personnel.

Since last week, a severe cold wave with temperatures around minus 17 degrees Celsius has continued, causing roads to freeze and water pipes to burst in various locations.

The county operated an emergency recovery team composed of road repair workers and sanitation workers to promptly respond to accidents and minimize damage caused by the cold wave.

On the day of the visit, County Head Moon received reports on road freezing prevention work, water pipe thawing operations, and garbage collection activities, and listened to the voices from the field, including difficulties and suggestions from the on-site workers.

Moon said, "This is a more difficult time than ever due to the overlapping challenges of the COVID-19 situation and the cold wave, but thanks to your hard work, the residents are getting through the cold winter without inconvenience."
