Geoje City "Will Create a Safe Childcare Environment You Can Trust" ... Daycare Center Closure Lifted

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), daycare centers in the Geoje area, which had been closed for 101 days since March 22, will all reopen and resume normal operations starting from the 1st.

According to Geoje City on the 1st, even during the closure of daycare centers, emergency care was provided while strictly adhering to quarantine guidelines. However, as the closure prolonged, an increasing number of daycare centers reported difficulties in normal operations.

Additionally, as demands from parents to alleviate childcare burdens and fatigue accumulated, reflecting voices from the field, it was decided to resume normal operations.

The city allows special activities conducted by external professional instructors, but these instructors must undergo a COVID-19 preemptive test and can only visit after confirming a negative result.

Furthermore, daycare center directors were urged to establish a COVID-19 management system and a close cooperation system with related agencies, and to thoroughly manage and supervise so that enrolled children, childcare staff, and visitors comply with quarantine guidelines.

Mayor Byeon Gwang-yong stated, "Even after the daycare center closures are lifted, we will continuously monitor the implementation of quarantine management measures and do our best to create a safe childcare environment that parents can trust."
