[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Gijang-gun has prepared and is implementing a 'Comprehensive Chuseok Holiday Plan' to ensure that residents can have a safe and comfortable holiday ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

By the 12th, the county will promote comprehensive measures in six areas: disaster and safety management, stabilization of the living economy, transportation and logistics, emergency medical treatment, environmental maintenance and prompt handling of civil complaints, and the spread of a sharing culture for marginalized groups.

To strengthen various disaster prevention and safety management activities, five task forces?General Control Team, Disaster Situation Team, Environmental Cleaning Team, Traffic Countermeasures Team, and Quarantine Countermeasures Team?comprising 145 members will begin emergency duty. Among them, 89 members will be assigned to the quarantine emergency duty team to maintain an emergency response system for COVID-19.

As a price stabilization measure, the supply status and price trends of essential goods will be monitored continuously, and price guidance and inspections will be strengthened.

For smooth vehicle traffic, a traffic countermeasure situation room will be operated, and emergency medical institutions and duty pharmacies will be inspected, posted on the Gijang-gun Health Center website, and an emergency medical system will be activated.

To minimize inconvenience to residents, an emergency cleaning system will be established and operated during the holiday period, and support projects for low-income vulnerable groups and solitary elderly without family will be promoted to create a warm holiday atmosphere.

During the Chuseok holiday, two COVID-19 screening clinics will be operated. The Health Center screening clinic will operate from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the Gijang Hospital screening clinic will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., excluding lunch break from 12:30 to 13:30. Gijang Hospital offers 24-hour testing only for symptomatic individuals.

Jung Jong-bok, Gijang County Governor, said, “We will do our best to systematically implement the comprehensive Chuseok holiday plan covering safety, prices, transportation, and support for ordinary citizens so that all residents can have a comfortable and abundant Chuseok holiday.” He added, “This year’s Hangawi is the first holiday without social distancing since COVID-19, so I hope both residents and visitors have a generous and warm holiday.”
