Hwasun-gun Strengthens Quarantine Management for Foreign Employment Workplaces

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 18th that it will strengthen quarantine management for workplaces employing foreign workers to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The county has launched focused management on companies employing foreign workers and the foreign workers themselves in connection with a series of infections at factories employing foreign workers that recently occurred in nearby areas.

A significant number of foreign workers are exposed to the "3Cs" (close contact, crowded places, and confined spaces) environment as they live together in factories and dormitories.

The county, together with Jeollanam-do, is investing budget to provide quarantine supplies to companies employing foreign workers, including KF94 masks, hand sanitizers, disinfectant water, and hand sanitizing tissues, which are highly demanded items at work sites.

While supplying quarantine supplies, the county is actively conducting proactive quarantine activities through ▲distribution of quarantine guidelines in foreign languages ▲distribution of vaccination information in foreign languages ▲guidance on personal quarantine rules ▲inspection of companies employing foreign workers.

A county official said, "We will support the improvement of living conditions for foreign workers to eliminate risk factors," and added, "Although we have transitioned to a phased recovery of daily life, with 200 to 300 new confirmed cases occurring daily, please strictly adhere to personal quarantine rules."
