[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 29th that it will inspect the operation status of 400 senior centers in 9 towns and townships by the 5th of next month in preparation for the Lunar New Year holiday.

Currently, Sinan-gun senior centers are operating under social distancing level 2, with all program activities and meals completely suspended, operating only as cold wave shelters.

To prevent external infection factors in advance, they are doing their best to ensure safe operation of senior centers from COVID-19 by guiding the elderly users to comply with quarantine rules and urging them to refrain from visiting their hometowns during the Lunar New Year holiday.

This operation status inspection will check compliance with quarantine rules such as prohibition of meals, no entry for outsiders, mask-wearing, temperature checks, and ventilation, along with hygiene management to prevent food poisoning in winter.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “We are strengthening continuous quarantine and management systems to support vulnerable elderly people to safely use senior centers,” and added, “We will do our best so that all residents can have a comfortable holiday.”
