Uiwang Sky Restplace Fully Closes During Lunar New Year Holiday to Prevent Infectious Diseases

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 26th that all facilities at Uiwang Sky Restplace will be completely closed during the Lunar New Year holiday period (February 11-14) to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure citizens' safety.

The city has designated a special quarantine period from the 30th of this month through February 21 (excluding the Lunar New Year holiday period) to minimize inconvenience for visitors paying respects at Uiwang Sky Restplace and citizens.

A temporary quarantine station will be set up at the entrance of the memorial urn storage area to allow visitors to pay their respects after completing visitor logs, wearing masks, and maintaining social distancing and other quarantine measures.

Additionally, online memorial services can be requested through the e-Sky funeral information system (sky.15774129.go.kr). The facility will operate online memorial and tribute services that allow families and acquaintances to share by utilizing features such as requesting photos of the deceased (applications accepted until February 10), memorial tables, flower offerings, and writing messages of remembrance.

A city official stated, "We have established special quarantine measures to prevent COVID-19 infection and spread during the Lunar New Year holiday period and have decided to completely close Uiwang Sky Restplace," and asked that "citizens make active use of paying respects before and after the holiday period and online memorial and tribute services so that everyone can spend a healthy Lunar New Year holiday."
