[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the morning of the 9th, the Hapcheon County Council in Gyeongnam held its February regular meeting with the attendance of heads of departments and bureaus at the county office, listening to reports from the responsible departments on major pending project plans.

According to the report from the responsible department, the application for the ‘Hapcheon County Emergency Disaster Relief Fund,’ which started on the 9th, can be submitted by visiting the eup/myeon offices until March 5th, and 100,000 KRW per resident will be provided in the form of a card.

The Health Center’s ‘COVID-19 Vaccination Plan’ will begin in February, starting with inpatients and workers at nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, and then proceed sequentially to all residents of the county.

For inpatients and residents of nursing hospitals and nursing facilities, the plan includes ‘visiting vaccinations’ alongside other methods, with vaccinations conducted according to the characteristics of the target institutions.

The County Council has been providing live internet broadcasts and IP broadcasts (internal administrative network) of plenary sessions held during sessions, and from the next meeting onward, it will extend live internet and IP broadcasts to standing committee meetings as well.

Chairperson Bae Mong-hee said in a greeting, “The emergency disaster relief fund is being distributed starting today. I appreciate the prompt handling by the executive branch and ask that efforts be made to ensure that as many residents as possible receive support before the Lunar New Year.”

She added, “I hope that the COVID-19 vaccination, which begins this month, will proceed smoothly without confusion through thorough preparation, bringing us one step closer to overcoming COVID-19 early.”
