[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeonnam (Governor Kim San) announced on the 19th that it will temporarily close two traditional markets in the area until the 1st of next month to prevent further spread of COVID-19 within the region.
The temporary closure dates for the traditional markets are Muan 5-day Market (24th and 28th) and Illo 5-day Market (21st, 26th, and March 1st). The decision to close was made in consultation with the merchant associations of each traditional market to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
