[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongsangbuk-do held a launch ceremony for the campaign "Eradicate COVID-19! Again, Safe Gyeongbuk!" on the 27th in Uiseong-gun, led by the Saemaul Association and the Barugesalgi Movement Provincial Council, as part of the quarantine response following the designation of pilot areas for social distancing relaxation.

On the same day, quarantine activities to eradicate COVID-19 were simultaneously carried out in other pilot areas for social distancing relaxation besides Uiseong-gun. Since the 26th, Gyeongbuk Province has been conducting a pilot implementation of the revised social distancing plan in 12 counties with populations under 100,000.

The launch ceremony was attended by Governor Lee Cheol-woo, Uiseong County Mayor Kim Ju-su, Provincial Saemaul Association Chairman Lee Jong-pyeong, Barugesalgi Movement Provincial Council Chairman Bae Ki-dong, as well as members of the Uiseong-gun Saemaul Association and Barugesalgi Movement Uiseong-gun Council, who carried out COVID-19 eradication campaigns and voluntary quarantine activities.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo, along with members of the Saemaul Association and Barugesalgi Movement Council, promoted quarantine activity guidelines at multi-use facilities, general restaurants, and traditional markets, distributing 24,000 masks and 1,200 hand sanitizers to residents.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo appealed, "I hope that the relaxation of social distancing measures in some parts of Gyeongbuk can bring even a little hope to residents going through a long tunnel of hardship," and urged, "I ask local residents to strictly follow quarantine rules and actively participate in revitalizing the local economy."
