Seongnam City Opens 'Haneulnuri Memorial Park' to Vaccinated Individuals During Chuseok Holiday

[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province will open the Haneulnuri 1st and 2nd Memorial Parks, located in Galhyeon-dong, Jungwon-gu, which are enshrinement facilities, to those who have completed COVID-19 vaccination during the Chuseok holiday from September 18 to 22.

Seongnam City announced on the 10th that it has changed its original plan to completely close the facilities for the five-day holiday period by applying the government's guideline announced on the 3rd regarding the "expanded exceptions for private gatherings of vaccinated individuals (up to 6 people in level 4, up to 8 people in level 3)" to enshrinement facilities.

Accordingly, those who have received the first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and have passed 14 days can visit the Haneulnuri Memorial Park during the Chuseok holiday.

Visitors must make a reservation through the Seongnam City website before visiting. When visiting the memorial, visitors must show a "vaccination certificate" or scan a QR code to verify that two weeks have passed since completing vaccination.

Other unvaccinated mourners can visit the memorial through advance reservations during September 6?17 and September 23?October 10, which are before and after the Chuseok holiday.

Even if entering the memorial, the ritual rooms cannot be used. Family members must maintain a distance of at least 2 meters from each other.

Currently, all 16,900 niches in Haneulnuri 1st Memorial Park are fully occupied, and in the 2nd Memorial Park, which has 25,421 niches, 19,978 (78%) deceased are enshrined.
