Gangwon-do Strengthens Quarantine Management at Multi-use Facilities During Chuseok Holiday

Special Joint Inspection from September 5 to 12... Maintaining Quarantine and Medical Response System

Gangwon Provincial Government

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Although the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases has recently shifted to a decline, the occupancy rate of severe beds in Gangwon-do has exceeded 60%, prompting Gangwon-do quarantine authorities to designate the period from the 5th to the 12th as a special quarantine period and strengthen quarantine management.

During the Chuseok holiday, Gangwon-do plans to assign quarantine managers to high-risk infection facilities such as transportation facilities (terminals, charter buses) and distribution facilities (large marts, department stores, marts), and conduct special joint inspections with the provincial and city/county governments to preemptively block infection risks.

In addition, to maintain an uninterrupted quarantine medical response system, screening clinics, medical consultation centers, and administrative information centers will be operated, while designated one-stop medical institutions and pharmacies will be operated as essential services, and emergency contact systems and available bed status checks will be thoroughly managed to ensure patient care and emergency response.

Park Dong-joo, Director of the Disaster Safety Office of the province, said, "There is a high possibility of further spread due to increased face-to-face contact and mobility during the Chuseok holiday," and urged, "Please be thorough with personal quarantine measures such as wearing indoor masks and periodic ventilation."
