On the 9th, Heo Dongsik, Director of the Urban Transportation Bureau, visited Jinju Intercity Bus Terminal, where a large number of homebound travelers are expected, to conduct a special inspection on compliance with quarantine rules in the public transportation sector.

The key inspection items on that day included whether passengers and drivers were wearing masks, whether terminals and vehicles were disinfected, compliance with social distancing between passengers, and announcements of preventive measures.
