[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jeonnam Haenam-gun is implementing special quarantine measures during the vacation season to ensure a safe summer for residents and tourists in preparation for preventing the spread of COVID-19.

According to the county on the 23rd, this measure was prepared focusing on ‘having a healthy and safe summer’ rather than simply restricting vacations, in line with the revised social distancing plan in July, which includes accumulated fatigue due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and eased quarantine rules following vaccination.

The period will be from next month 3rd to August 29th, lasting 8 weeks. A special quarantine task force (T/F) will be organized, operating four teams: general management, field response, field support, and quarantine management, to ensure thorough quarantine management in each sector.

First, under the theme of ‘Long-awaited summer vacation, getting cost-effectiveness,’ the county plans to actively promote to the public to practice taking vacations in small family units, avoiding peak season, and spreading out trips during the off-season.

Additionally, during vacations, if symptoms such as fever or cough occur, immediate testing will be encouraged, and proper mask-wearing and other quarantine rules will be enforced through on-site inspections to maintain vigilance against COVID-19.

In particular, special quarantine measures by sector will be implemented to provide a safe vacation for residents and tourists visiting Haenam, including operating a reservation system for Songhori Beach, appointing quarantine managers (safety personnel) for water play areas such as rivers and valleys, and focusing quarantine efforts on multi-use facilities such as entertainment venues and lodging establishments.

Screening clinics will also be operated to promptly respond to suspected symptoms occurring during vacations.

A county official stated, “We will make every effort to ensure a safe vacation through active promotion of COVID-19 quarantine and pinpoint quarantine measures at each vacation spot.”
