Gyeongnam Province Strengthens Public Restroom Disinfection Inspections Amid Extension of 'COVID-19 Social Distancing' Period

Intensive Disinfection Inspections of 5,216 Public Restrooms Until COVID-19 Prevention Situation Stabilizes

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do will inspect compliance with quarantine rules at 5,216 public restrooms in multi-use facilities across the province from the 14th to July 14th.

Due to the extension of the 'social distancing' period, the implementation of quarantine guidelines for public restrooms will be conducted until July 14th.

The main inspection items include whether disinfection is carried out (twice a day), posting and guidance of quarantine rules (sticker and poster attachment), and 2-meter distancing floor markings.

The province conducted on-site corrections for 583 locations with inadequate management last April.

For public restrooms in high-risk areas where group infections occurred, such as Changwon-si, Gimhae-si, and Hadong-gun, a joint inspection was conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the province, and city/county authorities.

Jo Yongjeong, Director of Water Quality Management at Gyeongnam Province, said, "With the extension of the social distancing period, we will thoroughly manage quarantine and facility inspections of public restrooms in multi-use facilities," and urged, "We ask users to also comply with user rules according to the quarantine guidelines."
