Preparing for a Surge in Year-End Drinking Gatherings Following the Easing of Social Distancing Measures

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County is conducting an "Alcohol Harm Prevention Campaign" until the end of this month to promote a culture of moderate drinking in observance of the Alcohol Harm Prevention Month (November).

According to Hampyeong County on the 16th, this campaign was prepared to proactively respond to the surge in alcohol-related accidents during the year-end and New Year period and to raise awareness about the importance of preventing alcohol harm and practicing moderation.
