[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, will lift the strengthened social distancing measures it implemented on its own ahead of schedule.

Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 10th that the strengthened quarantine measures under social distancing level 2, which were implemented on May 27, will be lifted early at 0:00 on the 11th, two weeks after enforcement.

Accordingly, from 0:00 on June 11 to 24:00 on June 13, the previous Jeollanam-do social distancing stage, the 'Revised Social Distancing Plan Level 1 + Adjusted Quarantine Rules' will be applied, and from 0:00 on the 14th, the social distancing revision plan announced by Jeollanam-do will take effect.

Earlier, Hampyeong-gun independently implemented strengthened quarantine measures under social distancing level 2 from May 27 to June 13 due to a large number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in the region.

However, considering that no additional confirmed cases have occurred recently through proactive responses such as two market closures and mass testing of local residents, and that all 221 people under self-quarantine will be released as of June 10, the early lifting was decided.

Mayor Lee Sang-ik said, “Thanks to the cooperation of the residents in proactive testing and adherence to quarantine rules, no further confirmed cases have occurred. Considering the daily life recovery of residents and the local economy, we decided to lift the measures early,” and added, “I hope this measure will help revitalize the stagnant local economy even a little.”
