[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Dongwoo Lee] The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 26th that it will conduct special quarantine management inspections at popular beach resorts, which are representative summer vacation spots for the public, due to the resurgence of COVID-19 coinciding with the summer holiday season.

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has designated the period from today until the 7th of next month as a special quarantine period for beaches, focusing inspections on more than 16 major beaches including Gangwon's Gyeongpo Beach, Chungnam's Mallipo Beach, Busan's Haeundae Beach, and Jeju's Hyeopjae Beach.

They plan to focus on checking compliance with quarantine measures at each beach, such as indoor mask-wearing, maintaining a distance of more than 1 meter outdoors, promoting quarantine guidelines, disinfection, and ventilation. Campaigns will also be conducted to encourage beachgoers to voluntarily participate in lifestyle quarantine measures like social distancing.

Cho Seung-hwan, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, said, "Since voluntary participation in quarantine by the public is most important, I hope everyone will adhere well to personal hygiene rules such as wearing masks and maintaining social distancing."
