Gyeongnam Province's June Safety Inspection Day Campaign to Overcome COVID-19

Participation of Safety Monitoring Volunteer Group in Onion Harvest Labor Support

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 16th that it set the theme of the June Safety Inspection Day campaign as 'Solving the labor shortage during the harvest season to overcome COVID-19 and strengthening quarantine management in the agricultural sector,' and carried out rural labor assistance.

Recently, the Safety Monitor Volunteer Group helped onion farms in Changnyeong, where labor shortages occurred due to a cluster infection among foreign workers.

In addition, quarantine promotion activities such as recommending diagnostic tests for foreign workers and guiding compliance with social distancing rules were conducted simultaneously.

They voluntarily participated to help onion farms struggling with labor shortages caused by a large number of foreign workers leaving for other regions at the same time during the onion harvest season.

Ha Jongdeok, Director of the Provincial Safety Policy Division, said, "There are persistent risk factors such as relaxed quarantine vigilance in rural areas where the social distancing reform plan is being piloted and infections in multi-use facilities," and urged, "Basic quarantine rules must be followed until herd immunity is formed."
