The communication managers are selected from consumer food hygiene inspectors who have a strong interest in promotion and extensive experience in activities. Changwon Special City has designated six such managers to carry out quarterly food poisoning prevention promotional activities.

The main promotional content includes ▲education and guidance on the six major food poisoning prevention rules for group meal service operators ▲April food poisoning caution information ▲how to make disinfectants to prevent norovirus food poisoning ▲methods for disinfecting and handling vomit ▲guidance on compliance for food-related business operators.

Earlier, the city inspected school and kindergarten cafeterias until the 21st in preparation for the spring semester, and plans to inspect daycare center cafeterias in May.

Son Gil-kwang, Director of the Health and Hygiene Division, said, “In spring, as temperatures rise and there is a large temperature difference between day and night, it is especially important to properly maintain food storage temperatures,” adding, “We will focus on intensive promotional activities based on seasonal key food poisoning prevention rules to proactively prevent food poisoning incidents.”
