The meeting was urgently arranged to request operators and workers of foreign-majority multi-business establishments to conduct proactive testing and to comply with quarantine rules for each type of facility, following the recent rapid resurgence of COVID-19 and the elevation of social distancing measures to Level 2 throughout Gyeongnam Province.

Meanwhile, Jinju City conducted special inspections on 33 foreign-majority multi-business establishments and requested facility managers to strictly adhere to quarantine rules such as managing visitor logs (Safe Call), limiting private gatherings, wearing masks, and maintaining distance between tables, in accordance with the Level 2 social distancing upgrade.
