On the 19th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will carry out hygiene inspections targeting more than 720 food handling establishments across 31 cities and counties in the province. In major cities such as Suwon, Hwaseong, Goyang, and Seongnam, more than 30 locations will be inspected, while in other areas, at least 20 locations will be checked.

The inspections will focus on facilities frequently used by many people, such as highway rest areas, amusement parks, and national and public parks.
