[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jeonnam Haenam-gun will operate a comprehensive situation room during the Lunar New Year holiday period.

According to the county, the comprehensive situation room is organized into seven sectors including the general team, disaster and safety measures, livestock diseases, forest fires, traffic and cleaning, health, and water supply to promptly respond to inconveniences closely related to residents' lives, and will conduct emergency duty.

In particular, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, a special quarantine measure will be promoted, including a holiday pause campaign urging restraint on homecoming and return trips during the Lunar New Year holiday, operation of the disaster comprehensive situation room and screening clinics, and intensive guidance and inspection of quarantine management facilities.

During the holiday, an emergency medical response situation room will be set up at the health center to check the operation status of medical institutions and holiday duty pharmacies, and to respond to emergencies such as emergency patients and infectious disease outbreaks.

Especially, from the 31st of this month to the 2nd of next month, the health center's clinic will be open to minimize inconvenience to residents.

Haenam General Hospital and Haenam Woori General Hospital will operate emergency rooms 24 hours a day, and 18 health clinics and 49 medical institutions will be designated as emergency and on-duty medical institutions, while 31 pharmacies will be designated as holiday duty pharmacies and will operate on a daily basis.

Information on on-duty medical institutions and pharmacies open during the holiday period can be checked through the Haenam-gun Health Center website and Sotongnet, and guidance can be received via the emergency number 119, the emergency medical portal, and smartphone apps.

Major tourist sites will operate without closing days during the holiday period, but quarantine will be strengthened in compliance with social distancing standards.

To discourage visits, an online memorial service is operated through the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s e-Haneul Funeral Information System and the Namdo Regional Memorial Park website.

In addition, safety inspections of multi-use facilities such as bus terminals are conducted to prevent incidents and accidents, and origin and price labeling compliance for agricultural, marine, livestock products, and essential goods are being checked to stabilize prices.

Until January 28, visits will be made to about 1,000 households of vulnerable neighbors, including basic livelihood security recipients and elderly living alone in each town and township, as well as 29 facilities and organizations within the county.

Household waste and food waste in Haenam-eup will be collected on January 30-31 and February 2, while townships will conduct their own collection on 2-3 days during the period. In addition, a holiday period processing team and a mobile team will be formed to focus on collecting household waste and handling complaints about illegal dumping.

The underground parking lot at the county citizen plaza in front of the county office will be open free of charge from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. during the holiday period, and unmanned civil service issuance machines can be used at 21 locations including the Haenam-gun new office first floor issuance machine, town and township offices, Ttangkkeut Port, and Usuyeong Port.

Myunghyeon-gwan, the Haenam County Governor, said, “We will operate the situation room during the Lunar New Year holiday and utilize the county website and social media to minimize administrative gaps,” and added, “We hope residents and hometown visitors refrain from traveling as much as possible during the holiday and follow personal quarantine rules to have a safe and comfortable Lunar New Year holiday.”
