According to the province on the 8th, a training to strengthen response capabilities by establishing a cooperative system among medical staff, public officials, and related organizations will be held on the 9th in Hoengseong.

This is the first time in three full years since it was suspended due to the nationwide spread of COVID-19 after July 19, 2019.
