[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 3rd that it conducted an online Hanmaeum Dementia Overcome Walking Event from the 12th of last month to the 2nd of this month to overcome COVID-19 and prevent dementia.

This event was organized to raise awareness of dementia and the importance of dementia prevention for dementia patients, their families, and residents who are experiencing difficulties such as physical and cognitive function decline due to lack of outdoor activities caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Considering the COVID-19 situation, the county held the event in a non-face-to-face manner through the mobile platform ‘WALK-ON’ so that anyone could participate in the walking event without restrictions on time and place, receiving great responses.

Governor Kim San said, “This Hanmaeum Dementia Overcome Walking Event became an opportunity to empathize with the difficulties of dementia patients and their families,” and added, “We will continue to implement various support policies for dementia patients.”

Meanwhile, participants who achieved more than 150,000 steps during the walking event period will be provided with promotional materials for event participation. For more details, please contact the Muan-gun Dementia Safety Center.
