[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 14th that it will implement a comprehensive plan prioritizing the safety of residents and returning visitors during the Chuseok holiday from the 18th to the 22nd.

This comprehensive plan includes 25 detailed measures across 8 areas: ▲ response to and prevention of the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) ▲ disaster and accident response and safety inspections ▲ establishment of an emergency medical system ▲ stabilization of residents' economy and daily life ▲ implementation of traffic safety measures ▲ resolution of residents' inconveniences, among others.

In particular, to prevent COVID-19, strict inspections will be conducted to ensure compliance with quarantine rules at multi-use facilities, cultural tourism and religious facilities. An emergency response situation room will be operated, and screening clinics and emergency quarantine duty teams will be organized to maintain a 24-hour infectious disease emergency communication system, enabling a swift response to COVID-19 emergency situations.

Additionally, to revitalize the stagnant local economy, a refund event for traditional market Onnuri gift certificates and a special discount sale of paper-type Geochang Sarang gift certificates will be held for Chuseok.

To provide uninterrupted medical services, on-duty medical institutions and holiday pharmacies will be designated, and a mobile cleaning team for waste disposal will operate to minimize inconvenience to residents during the holiday period.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “Since this Chuseok holiday is a crucial turning point for the recovery of daily life, I ask everyone to participate in the ‘Pause for a Moment’ campaign by refraining from visiting hometowns as much as possible and strictly following individual quarantine rules for the safety of families and residents. The administration will do its best to ensure that residents can have a comfortable holiday.”
