Damyang-gun Implements Strengthened Social Distancing Administrative Order Until the 20th

Complete Suspension of Gatherings, Events, Sports Gyms, Public Sports Facilities, and Senior Centers Due to Rapid Increase in Local COVID-19 Cases

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Damyang-gun announced on the 8th that it will implement an administrative order to strengthen social distancing measures until the 20th.

This administrative order is an unavoidable measure due to the explosive increase in confirmed cases in Gwangju Metropolitan City and Jeonnam, and the daily occurrence of confirmed cases within the region, creating a serious quarantine situation.

The main strengthened measures include maintaining the existing restrictions on the number of private gatherings, the use of the quarantine pass, and operating hours of multi-use facilities. However, assemblies, events, and meetings are limited to 10 people regardless of vaccination status, up to 49 people with approval from related agencies regardless of vaccination status, and up to 299 people if composed only of fully vaccinated individuals.

Additionally, the operation of senior centers is completely suspended, and programs operated by external personnel within social welfare facilities are prohibited.

Indoor and outdoor public sports facilities, school gymnasiums, Taekwondo dojangs, Hapkido dojangs, and Jiu-jitsu gyms are completely closed, and regional children's centers are also suspended, but emergency care classrooms can operate.

A county official stated, “Although there may be some inconvenience due to the continued strengthening of social distancing, cooperation is necessary for the precious recovery of daily life and health of the residents,” and added, “We ask that people refrain from unnecessary gatherings and visits to other regions, and actively participate in testing using rapid antigen test kits if symptoms are suspected.”
