[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangwon Province has designated a special quarantine period of 14 days (1.20.~2.2.), including the Lunar New Year holiday, and will operate a comprehensive countermeasure situation room to strengthen quarantine management.

On the 19th, the province held the 'Gangwon Province Lunar New Year Holiday Sectoral Quarantine Countermeasure Report Meeting' chaired by Deputy Governor Choi Bok-su, and decided to strengthen quarantine inspections of distribution stores such as traditional markets and large marts within the province, where a large number of unspecified people are expected to gather during this Lunar New Year holiday period.

Special inspections will be conducted on high-risk facilities where congestion is expected due to increased mobility at transportation facilities and visits to hometowns, to minimize infection risks.

To maintain an uninterrupted quarantine medical response system, 39 health centers and screening clinics will operate normally, and temporary screening stations on highways, infectious disease dedicated hospitals, and residential treatment centers during the Lunar New Year holiday will respond to emergency situations.

Additionally, as part of the comprehensive Lunar New Year livelihood safety countermeasures, the province, cities, and counties will operate comprehensive countermeasure situation rooms to establish measures related to issues directly connected to people's livelihoods, such as fire prevention, price stabilization, protection of low-income households, tourism, transportation, medical care, and wildfire prevention.
