Andong City Hall

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Andong City, Gyeongbuk Province, announced on the 28th that it will conduct special COVID-19 disinfection at traditional markets in celebration of the Lunar New Year, a major national holiday.

Although the 5-day markets had been closed for about a month since the end of last year, operations resumed on January 20th, prompting Andong City to implement special disinfection measures to ensure the safety of citizens.

This special disinfection at traditional markets will take place at Jungang New Market, Andong-gu Market, Yongsang Market, Bukmun Market, and the Small and Medium Distribution Joint Wholesale Logistics Center. Disinfection will be conducted three times in total: on February 1st and 6th, the days before market days, and once more after the Lunar New Year holiday.

Previously, since the 18th, Andong City has been operating a separate Life Quarantine Support Team and is making every effort in disinfection, not only in urban areas but also in traditional markets in towns and townships.

An official from Andong City stated, "We will do our best to create clean and safe traditional markets until COVID-19 is eradicated," and added, "We ask for citizens' active cooperation in following quarantine rules such as wearing masks and practicing social distancing."
