[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun (Governor Kim Sunho) announced on the 15th that it will implement a comprehensive plan for the Chuseok holiday, prioritizing COVID-19 response measures and resident safety.

According to the county, considering that the Chuseok holiday poses a high risk of triggering a resurgence and new wave of COVID-19, they plan to strengthen quarantine measures and establish a thorough medical system to support residents in spending the holiday with peace of mind.

During the holiday period, a situation team will be organized into seven sectors including disaster and accident, traffic, health care, and water supply countermeasures, centered on the comprehensive situation room’s general control team, to respond promptly to various emergencies and actively resolve residents’ inconveniences.

First, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, even during the holiday, those in self-quarantine such as overseas entrants and contacts will be monitored intensively 24 hours a day. The health care center’s screening clinic for COVID-19 testing will operate from around 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the Gurye Hospital screening clinic will operate 24 hours to establish a meticulous quarantine system.

To collect household waste generated during the holiday in a timely manner, a mobile cleaning team will be operated, and a large-scale cleaning campaign for Chuseok will be conducted to actively create a pleasant holiday atmosphere.

Despite the prolonged COVID-19 situation, to spread the culture of sharing, visits to marginalized groups will be conducted. Hope items will be delivered to six social welfare facilities and about 3,200 residents in need, leading the creation of a festive holiday atmosphere.

Governor Kim Sunho said, “Through the implementation of the comprehensive Chuseok holiday plan, we will focus administrative power to ensure everyone is safe from COVID-19 and can spend a warm-hearted holiday,” and urged, “Please refrain from gatherings and travel among family and relatives during the Chuseok holiday and follow quarantine rules such as wearing masks as much as possible even in family living spaces.”

Meanwhile, the county conducted a ‘Safe Chuseok Campaign for COVID-19 Response’ at the Gurye 5-day Market on the 13th, and the comprehensive situation room will operate from the 18th to the 22nd.
