Seoul Grand Park Implements Stricter Quarantine Measures Than Level 2.5 During Lunar New Year Holiday
Request for Strict Compliance with Individual Quarantine Rules to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Grand Park announced on the 8th that it will continue to implement quarantine measures stronger than the reinforced Level 2.5, following the government's extension of social distancing during the Seollal holiday period. In addition, a comprehensive situation room will be operated during the Seollal holiday to guide visitors to maintain sufficient distance.
So far, Seoul Grand Park has allowed visits to open outdoor spaces and outdoor animal enclosures, which are easy to follow safety guidelines due to the park's wide area, depending on the COVID-19 virus level. However, indoor exhibition halls where visitors might come close have been closed. Also, ecological explanation sessions at the zoo, where visitors could gather, have been suspended.
Going forward, depending on the COVID-19 situation, the park plans to gradually expand openings such as ecological explanation sessions. In preparation for an increase in visitors during the Seollal holiday, quarantine measures stronger than Level 2.5 will be implemented. The number of ticket booth staff will be increased from 26 to 36, and multi-person recognition thermal cameras will be used to minimize waiting lines and prevent crowding. In addition, entrance guidance (barrier) poles and floor spacing markings will ensure that a 2-meter distance is maintained between waiting lines.
All facilities including the zoo, theme garden, and Elephant Train will require temperature checks before entry, and the Elephant Train will operate one-way only to maintain distance between visitors. Furthermore, announcements will be made every 10 minutes (previously every 15 minutes) to ensure public cooperation in maintaining order.

Lee Soo-yeon, Director of Seoul Grand Park, said, “There is still a risk of virus spread, so citizens are advised to refrain from visiting if possible, and if they do visit, they must strictly follow viewing and personal quarantine guidelines.” She added, “In these times when people may feel depressed due to COVID blues, we will create a safe ecological cultural park where anyone can feel secure and heal.”
