[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 26th that, following the occurrence of one confirmed case and six confirmed cases from other regions on the 24th, an emergency countermeasure meeting was convened on the morning of the 25th, presided over by Governor Kim San, to discuss the current situation and response measures.

At the meeting, considering the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the difficulties faced by small business owners due to the regional economic downturn, and with the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters scheduled to announce social distancing adjustment measures on the 1st of next month, Muan County decided to focus on blocking the spread at the current level rather than raising the distancing level.

In addition to the regularly operating Muan County Public Health Center screening clinic, a mobile screening clinic has been operated at the Namak Complex Community Center from the 24th until the end of the current situation, and a temporary screening clinic was operated at Muan Haengbok Elementary School from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the 25th, allowing any residents with suspected symptoms or those wishing to be tested to receive testing.

Furthermore, all public facilities such as sports facilities, senior citizen centers, and village halls in the Namak and Oryong areas have been temporarily closed, and all efforts will be concentrated on implementing measures to prevent further spread.

Governor Kim San stated, “We will do our utmost to thoroughly implement quarantine measures and proactive responses to block the chain of COVID-19 infections and normalize the local community,” and urged, “Please refrain from visiting other regions and private gatherings, comply with quarantine rules such as wearing masks, and actively cooperate with COVID-19 vaccination.”
