[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Changwon Facilities Corporation in Gyeongnam has prepared a comprehensive plan to welcome visitors to the municipal burial facilities during the Chuseok holiday period to ensure their safety and convenience.


The enshrinement facilities, Sangbok Park 1st and 2nd Enshrinement Halls, Masan Yeongsaengwon, and Jinhae Cheonjawon, will be open for visits during the four-day holiday period from the 9th to the 12th, with extended hours from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.


However, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, individual memorial rites and bringing in food are prohibited. Instead, an outdoor communal memorial altar will be set up to provide opportunities for remembrance.


In particular, the corporation will conduct ventilation and disinfection of each facility more than three times a day, and visitors must undergo quarantine procedures such as temperature checks and wearing masks when entering indoor areas.


The cremation facilities, Sangbok Park Crematorium and Masan Crematorium, will be closed for one day on Chuseok, the 0th day.


The corporation plans to operate a support situation room for grave visitors and cooperate with the police station to maintain traffic order, ensuring smooth measures to welcome visitors.



A corporation official said, “We ask for active cooperation in complying with the daily quarantine rules and restrictions on the use of ritual rooms to ensure citizens’ safety and prevent the resurgence of COVID-19.”
