The high-risk facilities eligible for support include nursing hospitals, long-term care institutions, health promotion centers, and welfare facilities for the disabled. The city plans to distribute quarantine supplies such as approximately 50,000 masks, hand sanitizers, disinfectant sprays, and COVID-19 self-test kits in phases.

In addition, to prepare for large-scale outbreaks and continued cases, the city is identifying the status of infection-prone facilities and maintaining communication systems. A joint response team has been organized to monitor group outbreaks, conduct on-site inspections, and respond promptly.

These measures are intended to preemptively block large-scale infections in facilities where high-risk groups are gathered. Yangsan City plans to strengthen continuous monitoring of high-risk facilities along with the distribution of quarantine supplies.

The city expects that, given the nationwide concern over a possible resurgence of COVID-19, this support for quarantine supplies and the operation of the joint response team will be important steps to prevent the spread of infection and group outbreaks. In addition, the city urges the public to follow preventive guidelines such as proper handwashing, observing cough etiquette, wearing masks, and ventilating indoor spaces to prevent COVID-19.

Ahn Gapsuk, Director of the Public Health Center, said, "If all citizens, not just those in high-risk facilities, comply with COVID-19 prevention guidelines and the entire community cooperates and makes efforts, we can minimize infections. Yangsan Public Health Center, which is responsible for the health of citizens, will do its utmost to serve as a guardian to stop the spread of COVID-19."
