During the Lunar New Year holiday, the county will operate an emergency duty team composed of 64 members/8 teams daily, excluding on-duty personnel, to promptly respond to civil complaints closely related to residents' lives such as price stabilization, traffic, emergency medical care, and water supply.

This Lunar New Year holiday is expected to have severe traffic congestion due to the short duration and the holiday coinciding with the weekend. Therefore, traffic duty will be conducted in congested areas to quickly respond to traffic inconvenience reports and accidents. Pre-education on traffic safety, service measures, and COVID-19 related guidelines will also be provided to transportation company workers.

Additionally, COVID-19 screening clinics (at the public health center, Yeonggwang General Hospital, and Yeonggwang Christian Hospital) will operate during the holiday period. Emergency patient treatment and prevention of infectious disease outbreaks will be prepared by conducting emergency medical care at the public health center and health clinics. On-duty medical institutions (4 locations) and pharmacies (10 locations) will also be in operation.

Furthermore, except for the 22nd (Lunar New Year's Day), regular collection of household waste will be maintained, and a 24-hour emergency water supply situation room will be operated to resolve water supply-related complaints and provide emergency water supply and restoration measures in case of water outages during the holiday period.

Contact information for the situation rooms by sector related to the comprehensive Lunar New Year holiday plan can be found in the announcements section on the Yeonggwang-gun website. For inquiries, please contact the Administration Team of the General Affairs Division.
