[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province will conduct intensive inspections on quarantine management at local festival sites and 69 water play facilities in the province until the 31st, due to the rapid increase in COVID-19 variant virus confirmed cases.

During the inspection period, Jeonnam Province plans to thoroughly check the quarantine management status of water festival sites and water play facilities such as rivers and valleys, where crowds gather during the summer vacation season, to proactively block factors that increase bacterial growth and infection risk. In addition, they will actively promote the participation of facility managers and users in complying with daily quarantine rules.

The main inspection items include ▲designation of quarantine managers and deployment of quarantine personnel ▲provision of quarantine supplies (masks, hand sanitizers, etc.) ▲temperature checks and confirmation of symptomatic individuals ▲regular disinfection and ventilation.

The key daily quarantine rules are ▲proper mask wearing ▲completion of vaccination ▲ventilation at least three times a day and disinfection at least once ▲washing hands with soap for 30 seconds ▲minimizing the size and duration of private gatherings ▲seeking medical care and staying home if suspicious symptoms appear.

On the 2nd, Jeonnam Province’s Citizen Safety Office and Jangheung-gun jointly visited the water festival site to closely monitor the quarantine management status and the operation of rapid antigen testing stations, while conducting an on-site campaign urging visitors to participate in quarantine efforts.

Im Mankyu, Director of the Social Disaster Division, said, “Due to recent seasonal factors and the spread of the BA.5 variant, we are facing a crisis situation where COVID-19 is resurging in the summer.” He urged, “To prevent the spread of infection during the summer vacation season, all residents are asked to actively participate in practicing daily quarantine rules.”
