[Yeongam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jeollanam-do Yeongam-gun (Governor Jeon Dong-pyeong) announced on the 26th that from the 22nd to the 30th, it is conducting a special inspection on the management of visitor logs and hygiene inspections simultaneously at about 1,000 hygiene establishments including restaurants, cafes, and entertainment facilities within the jurisdiction.

This special inspection aims to enhance the effectiveness of tracking movements and prevent the group outbreak of COVID-19 in advance, protecting the safety of residents, as the 4th wave of COVID-19 is spreading in the metropolitan area and group infections have occurred due to negligence in managing visitor logs at restaurants in the Jeonnam region.

The inspection focuses on whether guidance on visitor log preparation is provided, whether handwritten logs are properly filled out, mandatory use of electronic visitor logs, constant mask-wearing, compliance with business hour restrictions, and especially encourages active use of the Safe Call number.

Since December last year, the county has supported ‘Safe Call’ starting with 080 for about 2,200 facilities where electronic visitor logs are mandatory and those with high infection risk, contributing to blocking group outbreaks through rapid epidemiological investigations of contacts when confirmed cases occur.

‘Safe Call’ is a system that manages visitor logs by simply dialing a unique number starting with 080 without visitors having to write in a handwritten log. It is easy for anyone to use, and call records are automatically deleted after 4 weeks.

A county official urged, “To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and local infections, business owners and residents using the facilities should remain vigilant, faithfully follow quarantine guidelines such as wearing masks, refrain from handwritten log entries as much as possible, and use Safe Call.”

If violations of quarantine rules are detected, managers will be fined or penalized up to 3 million won, users will be fined 100,000 won, and they will be excluded from disaster relief funds, living support funds, and compensation support.
