Additionally, to stabilize prices of essential goods, a price countermeasure situation room will be operated, and inspections will be conducted on traditional markets and marts to check for violations of origin labeling and price display systems for agricultural products for ancestral rites and gifts, local specialties, and imported seafood.

Furthermore, a traffic countermeasure team will be operated to crack down on illegal parking, a road task force will be deployed to prevent safety accidents at major construction sites and facilities, and a sewage task force will be prepared for sewage facility damage, ensuring thorough resolution of resident inconveniences.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “Although it is regrettable that we have to recommend refraining from travel during the holiday, we ask everyone to strictly observe social distancing during the Chuseok holiday to end COVID-19 and quickly return to daily life.”
