[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 23rd that it conducted an urgent inspection of compliance with quarantine rules at health centers and temporary screening clinics at eup offices, which operate on weekends to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 infections.

The county is conducting extensive testing of residents to quickly identify and test close contacts and discover additional sources of infection, in order to overcome the situation where infections have spread within the community due to increased travel during the vacation season and meetings among family and acquaintances.

In addition, to enable rapid epidemiological investigations, the movement paths of confirmed cases are tracked by linking with the CCTV control center, and contacts along the confirmed cases’ routes are quickly identified and tested using the Safe Call system, actively responding to the situation.

Choi Young-ho, Deputy Governor of Geochang, who visited the site, said, “I appreciate the efforts of the officials who have been working tirelessly since the last holiday and through this weekend to prevent the spread of COVID-19,” and encouraged them to “make a little more effort to stop the spread of COVID-19.”

The county is mobilizing all administrative power to maintain the response system to control the COVID-19 surge that began on the 15th, and is responding swiftly by extending the operation of health center screening clinics and expanding temporary screening clinics to eup and myeon offices.
