[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] On the 10th, Jeonnam Gangjin-gun announced that Lee Seung-ok, the county governor, visited Gangjin-eup Market and Jungang-ro shopping district on the 9th, ahead of the Seollal holiday, to listen to and encourage local merchants struggling due to COVID-19.

The governor listened to various opinions to overcome the economic downturn caused by the spread of COVID-19 and urged, "Merchants should work together to comply with quarantine rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19."

He especially emphasized, "To prevent the spread of COVID-19, please refrain from traveling to and from hometowns during this Seollal holiday, and be sure to wear masks when using traditional markets to ensure a healthy holiday."

Governor Lee Seung-ok said, "We will continue to promote quarantine activities to prevent the local spread of COVID-19," and added, "We ask the residents to visit traditional markets and Jungang-ro shopping district to support merchants who are struggling due to COVID-19."

Gangjin-gun is doing its best to prevent COVID-19 by placing hand sanitizers and conducting its own disinfection to prevent the virus from entering the community.

In addition, to revitalize the depressed local commercial district, various promotional marketing activities such as the ‘Gangjin-eup Shopping District Good Consumption Reward Event’ and the ‘Marketplace Cultural Festival’ are being carried out simultaneously.
