With the Chuseok holiday approaching three weeks in the future, quarantine authorities recommended that they refrain from visiting their places of origin and family as much as possible to prevent the spread of Corona 19. This is because the movement and the Contact should be reduced to avoid the spread of new infections, as it is expected that it will be impossible to fully control asymptomatic latent infection until then. However, authorities said they are not reviewing mandatory measures such as restrictions on movement.

The Security and Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters announced ‘Chuseok Prevention Measures’ in an online briefing held on the afternoon of the 6th.

First, the script read: “Based on the current (infection) trend, it is predicted that it will be impossible to fully control asymptomatic latent infection until Chuseok, which is three weeks later.” “There is a possibility that the infection will spread from family and friends gathered over long distances.” Because it is tall, please stay home this Chuseok for family and friends. “

The script read, “I am well aware that recommending that you not move during the Chuseok vacation will be unfortunate and unfortunate for many people.” But, “Please consider taking a break at home for my health and that of my family this vacation.”

First, for two weeks before and after the Chuseok holidays (the third week of September to the third week of October), an advance booking system is operated for visitors to the bonan indoor facility, and the ritual hall and the family bathroom at the Bonan facility are closed, and eating and drinking inside is prohibited.

The script emphasized that “the operator of the sea protection facility appoints a quarantine manager and restricts access if he does not wear a mask.” “The route of the installation should be separated and contact with visitors should be minimized by displaying the guide’s text.”

The script recommended: “Please refrain from visiting bonan graves or facilities, and use the online grave service provided by the ‘e-Haneul Business Information System’ from September 21.”

Quarantine authorities have also repeatedly recommended using the bee pasture agency services provided by the Forest Cooperatives and Nonghyups for beolcho.

The quarantine authorities also proposed measures for the movement of the Chuseok population. Train tickets are sold only at the window when pre-ordering, limiting the total sales rate to 50%. For intercity and high-speed buses, it is recommended to reserve window seats first, so that the distance between passengers can be achieved.

Quarantine authorities implement measures to avoid overcrowding of public transport facilities, such as rest areas and train stations, and carry out on-site inspections. A tabletop screen is installed in the road rest area, and the seats are arranged in a row. While operating a congestion information system in rest areas, airports, train stations and terminals are frequently disinfected.

Distribution facilities, such as department stores and markets, are in talks with related industries to ensure that both employees and customers wear masks and refrain from events, tastings and tastings where many customers gather. Small and medium-sized supermarkets carry out quarantine management, such as the use of masks at all times, focused on cooperatives and groups such as supermarket associations, and support quarantine products such as hand sanitizers.

Traditional markets call for regular disinfection, and local governments and the Small and Medium Business Administration will form a quarantine inspection team to verify the quarantine status of some 200 major traditional markets.

In principle, visits to nursing homes for the elderly and nursing hospitals are prohibited, and visits to wards (admissions) are prohibited even if visits are unavoidable. A non-contact visit is only possible in the space where the transparent barrier is installed through the advance booking system.
