[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 9th that Gamami Beach has opened and they have started welcoming guests for the peak summer season.
Songido Beach is scheduled to open on the 17th.
Gamami and Songido Beaches are implementing measures such as temperature checks, safe call, and wristband wearing to proactively block COVID-19 community transmission, and will operate on a reservation system during the opening period.
Reservations can be made using Naver's reservation system.
The beach reservation system was introduced last year, allowing prior assessment of visitor congestion at each beach, which has the advantage of dispersing visitors concentrated at some beaches to less crowded ones.
The county's top priority for beach operation this year is safety, and they plan to establish an organic safety management system with related organizations such as the Coast Guard, Fire Station, Police Station, and private rescue personnel to prevent any casualties.
Governor Kim Junsung said, "The county and local residents will do their best to ensure safe use of beaches amid the spread of the COVID-19 virus," and added, "We will actively support efforts to revive the former reputation of the three major beaches in Honam."
