[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, will implement special quarantine measures from the 13th to the 22nd in celebration of the Chuseok holiday to prevent and block the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and to promote local livelihood stability.

The city will first expand the operation of the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters, which has been operating continuously due to COVID-19, and the public health center screening clinics will operate normally.

During the Chuseok holiday, except for Chuseok day itself, the screening clinics at Bando, Seran, Hanil, and Jeil Hospitals will operate on a rotating basis.

Management of overseas entrants under self-quarantine will also be strengthened. Dedicated public officials will enhance their quarantine responsibility awareness and make thorough efforts to manage and provide convenience to those under self-quarantine. During the holiday period, joint surprise inspections with the police and 24-hour monitoring will be conducted.

In addition, the city will operate a comprehensive inspection team, a joint inspection team with the city police, and a 24-hour response team to thoroughly check compliance with quarantine rules at multi-use facilities and religious facilities.

The city urged minimizing visits to relatives during the Chuseok holiday and strongly recommended that when visiting, people should have completed vaccination or undergone diagnostic testing, visit with the minimum number of people, and refrain from visiting elderly parents who have not completed vaccination.

At Anrak Park Memorial Hall, visits will only be allowed for those with prior reservations during the same period, and citizens were asked to refrain from holding in-person ancestral rites and to use online memorial and grave visiting services.

The city will implement customized quarantine measures targeting foreign workers to prevent the spread of infection related to foreign acquaintances' gatherings.

Along with quarantine, the city will also make every effort to implement comprehensive measures for livelihood stability, operating a comprehensive countermeasure situation room to enable immediate response to incidents and accidents, and minimizing citizen inconvenience in areas such as transportation and environment.

To ensure emergency patient treatment during the holiday, the public health center emergency treatment countermeasure situation room will be operated, and cooperation will be sought from private hospitals to operate emergency rooms 24 hours a day at eight private medical institutions, including Gyeongsang National University Hospital.

Regarding these measures, Jinju Mayor Cho Gyu-il said, “It is very regrettable as mayor that we still cannot meet freely due to the continuation of the 4th wave,” and conveyed a message of hope, saying, “Let us all work together so that we can restore daily life as soon as possible through the advanced quarantine awareness of our citizens.”
