Gokseong-gun, Full Effort to Prevent Year-End COVID-19 Spread

Campaign to Encourage Avoiding Gatherings and Travel to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jong-sun] In response to the increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases in Jeollanam-do, Gokseong-gun announced that on December 13, it conducted a year-end gathering and travel restraint campaign at the Train Village Traditional Market.

This campaign was organized to strengthen on-site quarantine vigilance and foster a social participation atmosphere amid concerns of a large-scale COVID-19 outbreak during the winter season.

Participants in the campaign promoted key COVID-19 prevention measures including ▲ refraining from unnecessary outings and travel, ▲ wearing masks anytime and anywhere, ▲ avoiding year-end and New Year gatherings, and ▲ mandatory vaccination.

In particular, they wore banners and sashes with slogans such as "We must stop COVID-19 here!" and "Let's refrain from year-end and New Year travel and gatherings" to urge people not to loosen their vigilance on quarantine amid the festive year-end atmosphere.

Gokseong-gun plans to continue the visiting quarantine compliance campaign for the next two weeks.

Through ongoing campaigns touring Gokseong-eup area, Ok-gwa area, and Seokgok area, the county aims to build consensus among all residents on quarantine and travel restraint, and has launched extensive publicity by posting and distributing posters and leaflets produced by the county itself at multi-use facilities.

A county official said, "There has been some decline in vigilance due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation. We hope everyone actively participates in following quarantine rules such as the third dose of vaccination, mask wearing, personal hygiene, and the quarantine pass."

Meanwhile, the campaign was jointly conducted by Gokseong-gun, Gokseong Police Station, Gokseong 119 Safety Center, Korea Electric Power Corporation Gokseong Branch, Korea Rural Community Corporation Gokseong Branch, Korea National Oil Corporation Gokseong Branch, and Gokseong-gun Volunteer Fire Brigade.
