[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Gangwon Province will conduct an emergency quarantine inspection in cooperation with cities and counties on tourism, cultural, and sports facilities during the vacation season until the 6th of next month.


According to Gangwon Province on the 26th, a dedicated inspection team will be formed focusing on areas with a high number of COVID-19 cases such as Chuncheon, Wonju, Gangneung, and Sokcho, to intensively check the preparation of visitor logs, mask-wearing, and compliance with accommodation capacity limits.


In particular, karaoke rooms and PC cafes in five East Coast cities and counties (Donghae, Sokcho, Samcheok, Goseong, Yangyang) will be inspected for compliance with occupancy limits based on area, restrictions on food consumption, and ventilation log management status.


Additionally, quarantine status will be checked at religious facilities with a high risk of group infections, and communication systems with religious communities will be strengthened to ensure prompt cooperation in emergency situations.


Given the recent surge in confirmed cases, with a high incidence among people in their 20s and 30s, special inspections will also be conducted on indoor sports facilities within the province frequently used by young people, such as dance halls, dance academies, and fitness centers.



Kim Chang-gyu, Director of the Culture, Tourism and Sports Bureau, said, "Since small business owners in the province are concerned about potential damage to the summer vacation season economy they had hoped for, we will strive to wisely overcome the crisis through thorough compliance with quarantine guidelines and quarantine measures."
