Changwon City Conducts On-Site Quarantine Inspection Before Opening Gwangam Beach

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City in Gyeongnam has preemptively deployed 2 water lifeguards and 4 quarantine managers ahead of the July 3 opening of Gwangam Beach.

However, since it is before the opening, facilities such as parasol rentals (operated by the fishing village association), outdoor showers, and changing rooms will not be operated, and only restrooms will be open.

On July 3, all beach facilities except indoor showers and changing rooms will be open and operational.

Quarantine measures will be strengthened in a way that minimizes inconvenience to visitors.

This year, new quarantine measures at Gwangam Beach include the introduction of a safe call system, wristbands for verifying vaccinated individuals, a congestion traffic light system for the beach, and quarantine measures for the beach according to social distancing levels.

Along with this, quarantine measures will be operated through 2-meter distancing between parasols, enhanced disinfection of convenience facilities and equipment, and a beach COVID-19 response team.

From June 5 to 27 this year, about 10,000 people visited only on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), but no confirmed cases have been reported so far.

Accordingly, in preparation for the summer beach opening season, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries inspected quarantine measures and other preparations before the opening of Gwangam Beach together with Changwon City on the 29th.

The main inspection items included whether quarantine measures for the beach were established, production and posting of COVID-19 quarantine promotional materials, whether broadcasting facilities for quarantine rule announcements were functioning properly, preparation of quarantine measures in advance, and a total of nine items.
