Goheung-gun Launches Campaign to Refrain from Travel and Gatherings During Year-End and New Year Period

Creating a Cooperative Atmosphere for Disease Prevention to Shift Toward Reduced Local Spread

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Jeonnam Goheung-gun (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 13th that officials from the county, Goheung Police Station, Goheung Office of Education, and the Autonomous Disaster Prevention Group participated in a campaign to refrain from travel and gatherings during the year-end and New Year period at four locations including the Goheung Bus Terminal intersection.

This campaign was conducted to create an atmosphere encouraging residents to practice social distancing and participate in quarantine measures to reduce confirmed cases within the county, amid the nationwide spread of COVID-19 and the rapid increase of confirmed cases in the county, with concerns over continuous confirmed cases due to increased travel and gatherings during the year-end and New Year period.

Through the campaign, with the slogan "We must stop COVID-19 here!", focused promotion was carried out using banners, sashes, and placards emphasizing refraining from travel and gatherings, mandatory mask-wearing, essential vaccination, and compliance with personal quarantine rules.

Governor Song Gwi-geun, who participated in the campaign, said, "As the daily confirmed cases nationwide exceed 6,000 and confirmed cases in the Jeonnam region rapidly increase, the spread of COVID-19 is serious, and with the introduction of the Omicron variant, we are facing a critical turning point," adding, "To overcome COVID-19, please strictly follow personal quarantine rules such as wearing masks, refraining from travel and gatherings, and mandatory vaccination."
