Hwasun-gun Urges Restraint on 'Visiting Hometown During Vacation Season'

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Hwasun County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) recently urged residents to refrain from visiting their hometowns during the summer vacation season due to the rapid spread of COVID-19 in the Seoul metropolitan area.

According to the county on the 9th, as the number of confirmed cases nationwide exceeds 1,000 and daily cases continue to occur in Gwangju and Jeonnam, residents are being asked to cooperate in discouraging children or relatives living in the metropolitan area from visiting their hometowns.

This message is being broadcast twice daily through village announcements to inform residents and to raise awareness about the relaxed vigilance in quarantine measures following vaccination.

A county official stated, “Thanks to the efforts of the residents, no recent confirmed cases have occurred, but the situation remains one where we cannot lower our guard,” adding, “Even with slight suspicious symptoms, please immediately get tested at the health center’s screening clinic and actively participate in vaccination.”
