Hwasun-gun Controls Visitors to Seryangji to Prevent COVID-19 Spread

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeollanam-do Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 30th that it will strengthen quarantine measures, including controlling visitors to Seryangji and banning group photo shoots by photography enthusiasts, starting from the 1st of next month to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Seryangji is famous as a group photo shoot site for photography enthusiasts aiming to capture the scenery created by the mist and wild cherry blossoms, and before the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 1,000 photography enthusiasts visited annually.

April is a period when not only photography enthusiasts but also general visitors increase sharply. The county decided to control visitors to Seryangji again this year as a preemptive measure against COVID-19, following last year, and installed fences on the Seryangji embankment to prevent group photo shoots.

A quarantine post has been installed and operated at the entrance of Seryangji, and general visitors not wearing masks are also prohibited from entering.

Visitors showing fever symptoms (37.5℃ or higher) will be sent home after a temperature check.

A county official said, “Photography enthusiasts who participate in group photo shoots are vulnerable to COVID-19 prevention because they take photos in close proximity for long periods. We ask that visitors strictly follow quarantine guidelines such as wearing masks when visiting not only Seryangji but also spring flower spots and tourist attractions with heavy visitor traffic.”
