Jeonnam Province Appeals to Comply with the '7 Major Quarantine Rules' Including Wearing Masks

12 Confirmed Cases from the 4th... Song Sang-rak Also Issues Appeal as Deputy Governor

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Song Sang-rak, Vice Governor of Jeonnam Province, appealed to comply with the seven major quarantine rules, including wearing masks, as local infections have been spreading centered around Suncheon since the 4th.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 5th, 12 residents who used medical device experience sales stores and hospitals in Suncheon were confirmed positive within two days.

Accordingly, the province is conducting extensive epidemiological investigations and has initiated preemptive diagnostic testing at 99 medical device experience locations deemed to have a high risk of infection.

As a result of testing a total of 1,328 people, 290 tested negative besides the 12 confirmed cases, and testing for the remaining 1,026 people is planned to be completed promptly.

In response, Vice Governor Song appealed through a statement to strictly follow the mandatory basic COVID-19 quarantine rules, which became compulsory from that day after a one-week guidance period ended.

The mandatory basic COVID-19 quarantine rules include ▲wearing masks ▲managing visitor logs ▲regular disinfection and ventilation ▲prohibition of food consumption ▲symptom checks and access restrictions ▲designation and operation of quarantine managers ▲posting and informing about quarantine rules and the number of users.

Vice Governor Song also requested residents to cancel private gatherings including family during the spring and holiday seasons as much as possible, refrain from meeting visitors from other regions, and actively participate in COVID-19 vaccination.

He further urged medical institutions to actively guide people with COVID-19-like symptoms to get tested at screening clinics.

Vice Governor Song said, “The reason Jeonnam has maintained the lowest number of confirmed cases nationwide so far is thanks to the residents’ strict adherence to quarantine rules,” and added, “Only compliance with the seven basic quarantine rules, refraining from gatherings, and participation in vaccination can protect clean Jeonnam from the fourth wave.”
