Hampyeong County Health Center Implements Emergency Response System for Lunar New Year Holiday

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 10th, the Hampyeong County Public Health Center in Jeollanam-do announced that it will establish and implement an emergency response system during the Lunar New Year holiday period.

To this end, seven emergency quarantine task forces have been organized as countermeasures for emergency medical situations (COVID-19 patients) during the Lunar New Year holiday, and screening clinics will operate normally to block the spread of COVID-19 and ensure rapid response.

The Hampyeong County Mental Health Welfare Center provides local residents classified as high-risk groups through depression screening tests with packages consisting of ▲ mental health guides ▲ growing companion plants, and supports psychological quarantine through visiting mental health project advisory psychological support, psychological counseling services for COVID-19 self-quarantined and isolated individuals, and more.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic making it difficult for children to visit their hometowns during the Lunar New Year holiday, visiting nurses will directly visit households in need of care, such as elderly living alone, to conduct basic health checkups and provide a Parent Health Notification service that sends the results via text message to children living far away.

Consumer food hygiene inspectors, the Hampyeong County Restaurant Association, and four teams consisting of 10 public-private joint inspection members will conduct intensive inspections until the last day of the Lunar New Year holiday on over 400 hygiene establishments in the area, focusing on visitor log management, disinfection implementation, gatherings of five or more people, and store operations after 10 p.m.

A public health center official said, “We will carry out thorough quarantine measures during the Lunar New Year holiday and operate care services for vulnerable groups in a substantial manner so that families who cannot visit their hometowns can feel at ease.”
