Chungnam Province Prioritizes Entry for Pregnant Women and Families with Infants and Young Children at Large-Scale Events

Pilot Operation at Large-Scale Events and Exhibitions in the Second Half of the Year

Chungnam Province announced on the 25th that it will pilot the 'Priority Entry for Pregnant Women and Infants/Young Children (Fast Track)' system.

As part of the Chungnam-style full-care childcare policy, the province will pilot the fast track system starting in the second half of this year.

At large-scale events and public cultural facilities, visitors who are pregnant women or accompanied by infants and young children under 12 years old can enter through a dedicated entrance. Upon entry, they must carry a mobile health insurance card, passport, resident registration certificate or extract to verify the identity of the infants/young children, and a maternity handbook to verify the status of pregnant women.

The events confirmed for this year's pilot operation include △ Bay Valley Vision Proclamation Commemorative Super Concert △ Some paid performances at the Cheonan Heungtaryeong Dance Festival △ Ticket booths and paid sections at the Asan Art Valley Jazz Festival △ Seosan Haemieupseong Festival △ Nonsan Year-end Concert △ Dangjin Hapdeok Water Folk Museum National Treasure Touring Exhibition, among others.

Song Mugyeong, Director of the Provincial Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, said, "We hope that the pilot operation of the fast track will serve as an opportunity to foster a childcare-friendly culture," adding, "We will promote this policy so that it spreads and residents actively participate, allowing it to become an excellent policy."
