[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 2nd that it has established a comprehensive summer plan to prevent COVID-19 and various safety accidents in preparation for the summer season.


The city has formulated 21 detailed measures across five major areas, considering the forecasted temperature rise compared to the average year and the COVID-19 pandemic, and will focus on implementing them from the 1st of this month until September 30th.


The comprehensive plan includes prevention of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, citizen health management including heatwaves, food poisoning, and water quality management measures, strengthening safety and support for vulnerable groups, safety management for disaster and accident preparedness, prevention of agricultural and livestock damage and algal blooms, and management of tourist and recreational areas including traffic safety during the vacation season.


Specifically, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, disinfection and management of overseas entrants will be further strengthened.


Also, before the rainy season begins, safety inspections will be completed for 483 disaster-vulnerable facilities and 116 disaster-prone areas. To prepare for evacuees caused by wind and flood damage, 73 public buildings and schools will be designated as temporary shelters, and sufficient disaster relief supplies will be stockpiled.


Finally, a TF team to prepare for the heatwave will operate in an emergency system until the end of September. The city will minimize citizen inconvenience by establishing 403 disaster warning and alert systems, providing heatwave shelters, and shade structures at bus stops.



Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, "As citizens are going through difficult times due to the impact of COVID-19, the public sector will take an extra step to do its best so that citizens can spend a safe and cool summer."
