[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 12th that it will launch special COVID-19 prevention activities mainly on weekends from the 9th of this month to the 21st of next month at tourist sites expected to attract many visitors during the holiday season.

The county will utilize all its staff to form special inspection teams of two people each to conduct comprehensive inspections on the implementation of quarantine measures at about 1,200 locations including popular tourist sites, campsites, amusement facilities, restaurants, cafes, and accommodations on weekends.

This special inspection during the holiday season was planned to strengthen weekend quarantine compliance checks. In particular, it was urgently implemented due to the continuous occurrence of confirmed cases in the area after the Chuseok holiday and concerns about additional cases arising from the increase in visitors during the holiday season.

The key inspection items include compliance with basic quarantine rules such as wearing masks, preparation and management of entry logs, adherence to quarantine rules at major tourist sites, regular disinfection and ventilation, and maintaining a distance of at least 2 meters.

Businesses found violating quarantine rules during this special inspection will face strong measures such as fines and closure orders.

A Yeongam-gun official said, “To suppress the spread of COVID-19 in the community, we are mobilizing all public officials who have given up their holidays to conduct comprehensive special inspections, and we ask for active cooperation during on-site inspections. As many tourists are expected to visit our county during the holiday season, there are concerns about the spread of COVID-19 infection, so we urge business owners and facility managers to strictly comply with quarantine rules.”

Meanwhile, the county is doing its best in proactive testing and management by extending the operation of the Samho Hanmaeum Center temporary screening clinic until the 29th of this month, and plans to install and operate a temporary screening clinic at Wolchulsan Gichan Land from the 25th of this month to the 24th of next month to ensure safe travel for holiday tourists.
