[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Damyang-gun announced on the 7th that it has issued an administrative order to extend social distancing level 3 throughout the county to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection and its transmission within the region.

The main details are as follows until October 3: ▲ Private and direct family gatherings are limited to 8 people including those fully vaccinated (up to 4 unvaccinated persons) ▲ Prohibition of assemblies and events with 50 or more people ▲ Mandatory diagnostic testing for users of indoor and outdoor public sports facilities, employees of entertainment facilities such as delivery-type cafes, and foreign worker employment sites.

Private and direct family gatherings are allowed up to 8 people including those fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated persons are limited to a maximum of 4, and assemblies and events are allowed up to 49 people.

Restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores are only allowed to provide takeout and delivery services from 10 PM to 5 AM, and the operation and use of outdoor tables where eating is possible are prohibited.

In preparation for the Chuseok holiday, a campaign will be promoted with the core message “COVID-19 diagnostic testing before and after visiting hometown for Chuseok! Protect your parents’ safety,” encouraging residents to voluntarily participate in quarantine by practicing compliance with prevention guidelines for a safe and healthy Chuseok holiday.

Additionally, from September 23 to 24 after the Chuseok holiday, mobile screening clinics will be operated at gyms and township offices to enable all residents to receive COVID-19 diagnostic testing.

A county official stated, “Given the serious situation due to the spread of variant viruses, we ask that people refrain from private gatherings and meetings, visit their hometowns in small groups only after completing vaccination or diagnostic testing for family safety, avoid movement if experiencing abnormal symptoms, and strictly follow basic quarantine rules such as wearing masks indoors and outdoors.”
