Hwaseong City to Operate Indoor Memorial Facilities During Chuseok Holiday Using Daily Visitor Capacity System

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Jun-seong] Hwaseong City announced on the 6th that it will operate indoor enshrinement facilities at public memorial parks during the Chuseok holiday period using a daily visitor capacity system through a pre-reservation system to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The city will implement 'social distancing guidelines' from the 18th to the 22nd during the Chuseok holiday, limiting the number of visitors to Hwaseong Memorial Park enshrinement facility to 200 people or fewer per session and Hwaseong Hambaekan Memorial Park to 400 people or fewer per session, based on a standard of 1 person per 4㎡ of indoor enshrinement area (family visits limited to 4 people). The facilities will operate a total of 6 times daily to distribute visitor traffic and encourage visits during different time slots.

Pre-reservations will be available online on a first-come, first-served basis through the Hwaseong Integrated Reservation System (https://reserve.hscity.go.kr) from 9 a.m. on the 6th to 6 p.m. on the 17th. Entrance will be restricted for those who do not make a pre-reservation. However, outdoor public cemeteries can be visited without advance reservation.

For more details, visitors can check the Hwaseong City or Hwaseong Urban Development Corporation websites.

Meanwhile, through the e-Haneul Funeral Service Information System (www.15774129.go.kr) operated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, families can pay online memorial tributes to the deceased from home through the online memorial service.
