Changwon City, Full Effort in Quarantine Management for Charter Bus COVID-19 Prevention

Passenger List Management, Mask Wearing Status, and Vehicle Disinfection Inspection

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, will inspect compliance with COVID-19 safety guidelines and other quarantine measures for charter buses during the spring peak season until the end of March.

The main inspection items include management status of passenger lists using electronic entry logs, availability of hand sanitizers inside vehicles, disinfection of vehicles before and after operation, mask-wearing compliance, and restrictions on conversations and food consumption inside vehicles.

Additionally, charter bus operators have been requested to ventilate the vehicles at least once every two hours.

However, if ventilation is not possible due to operational conditions, it was emphasized that ventilation must be performed during intermediate stops, and that quarantine prevention measures such as passenger temperature checks must be continuously observed.

The city has about 800 charter buses from 29 companies and plans to support a total of 60 fever screening devices by April to strengthen infectious disease prevention and management.

Choi Youngcheol, Director of the Safety, Construction and Transportation Bureau, said, "No matter how much we emphasize COVID-19 prevention, it is never too much. We will do our best to ensure that citizens can use charter buses safely and comfortably through continuous inspections and proactive prevention."
