[Jindo＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo County, Jeollanam-do, has issued an administrative order for enhanced social distancing level 3, including adjustments to the number of people allowed to gather.

According to the county on the 10th, the administrative order was issued to limit private and immediate family gatherings to 4 people (including those fully vaccinated), mandate diagnostic testing at workplaces employing foreigners, and at employment agencies.

This is a preemptive measure to prevent group infections by adjusting the number of people allowed to gather, as there has been a recent high spread of group infections in restaurants and cafes.

In particular, private gatherings and immediate family meetings are limited to 4 people, and even if vaccinated, the allowed number remains 4.

Additionally, restaurants and cafes are restricted from operating between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., and the administrative order period lasts until the 22nd.

The mandatory diagnostic testing applies to workers at tea house-style rest food establishments who deliver directly, workplaces employing foreign workers, and both domestic and foreign individuals at employment agencies, who must undergo testing once a week.

Restrictions on the operation of senior leisure facilities such as senior centers and welfare centers are extended, and the operation of public multi-use facilities is also suspended.

Childcare facilities such as daycare centers will be closed until the 15th, and senior center programs and meal services, small cinemas, and sports facilities will be suspended until the 22nd.

Recently, cases of infection have occurred among foreign seafarers and restaurant employees in Jindo County.

The administrative order for diagnostic testing of foreigners and coastal fishing vessel testing has been proactively conducted since the end of July by Jeollanam-do and Jindo County, recently identifying 11 confirmed cases and preventing group infections through classification of close contacts and in-depth epidemiological investigations.

To block group infections and track user movements, on the 9th, the county conducted focused publicity and inspections on about 300 restaurants and cafes, checking the operation of the 080 safe call system for visitors, QR code registration, and maintaining a 1-meter distance between tables.

A representative from the Jindo County Safety Life Support Division said, “We will preemptively block regional spread through proactive quarantine measures,” and “We ask for the cooperation of residents to prevent unpredictable COVID-19 spread.”
