Ganghwa County Chief Yu Cheon-ho Emphasizes "Thorough COVID-19 Quarantine Management"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Ganghwa County Chief Yu Cheon-ho stressed at an enlarged executive meeting on the 15th the need to strengthen the county's quarantine management efforts and to continue adhering to social distancing guidelines in daily life, in response to the recent indefinite extension of enhanced Seoul metropolitan area quarantine measures.

County Chief Yu Cheon-ho instructed thorough preemptive responses to crowded, congested, and enclosed facilities to prevent blind spots in summer quarantine measures.

Under the enhanced Seoul metropolitan area quarantine management system, the county has strengthened quarantine management by making mandatory the adoption of QR code electronic entry logs for emotional bars, entertainment establishments, small bars, noraebang (singing establishments), and indoor group sports facilities.

The county also recommended the suspension of operations for religious facilities, nursing homes for the elderly, funeral homes, private academies, and PC rooms within the jurisdiction, and decided to suspend operations at public facilities such as museums and libraries.

The county urged residents to comply with five basic personal quarantine rules for social distancing in daily life. The five basic personal quarantine rules are: ▲Stay home for 3-4 days if ill ▲Maintain two-arm distance between people for healthy distancing ▲Wash hands for 30 seconds and cover coughs with sleeves ▲Ventilate daily at least twice and conduct periodic disinfection ▲Though distances grow far, hearts stay close.

County Chief Yu Cheon-ho stated, "I earnestly appeal to all residents to strictly adhere to quarantine rules in their daily lives from their respective places," and added, "To prevent the influx of COVID-19 into the region, we will continue to do our best to help residents reclaim their precious daily routines by rechecking whether there are any blind spots in quarantine efforts."
